The Referral
Meikina Faith HongRui Buechele

This is our daughter, Li HongRui. She was born on January 2, 2005. She was found three days later at the gate of a goverment building. She was taken to Xingye County Social Welfare Institute where she stayed for 22 days. Then she was moved to Mother's Love Orphanage in Guangxi Province. Her orphanage is one of the best in China. She is quiet and likes to suck her fingers and she likes listening to music and playing with others. And she's BEAUTIFUL!!!
UPDATE: After receiving our referral, I mailed a package to Meikina's orphanage. I included some gifts for Meikina and a letter to the orphanage director. Several days later, I was very surprised to receive a reply from the orphanage. Through that letter, I learned that Meikina is now in foster care. Within a few days, I met someone who knows someone who knows the foster family. I obtained updated information through that source, including pictures which I am just thrilled to have! Within the last few days, I have been contacted by the foster mother and she has sent several new photos of Meikina as well. We are thrilled to have this connection...it's very unusual to have this type of contact prior to the adoption. It's been great though, because I've been able to watch our daughter grow and we've been given information that we otherwise would never have known. We are so thankful for everything that has happened to bring us closer to our daughter. And the best is yet to come!
