| We took the girls along on our annual fall trip to China this year. On the way, we stopped in Australia to visit the Foti family - they are a very special part of Sammie's life. While in China, we visited the orphanage in Yangchun and spent several days with Yu Hong Ying, the director. We also got to spend an evening with Sammie's foster parents and many friends from the Golden Dragon Factory. It was a great trip, with many special memories! |
