We managed to visit the Shanghai Healing Home with the girls. The babies here are all below one year old and are orphanage. They were born with cleft palate. But there is one new comer, who is 10 months old ( just been 3 days in the house when we visited ) who doesn't have cleft palate but she got leg problem and just has been operated.
The babies are from other orphanages and they stay in this " home" just for before and after surgery . It could be for a few months. This home is a small one, and can only accommodate up to 10 babies, so after surgery some of the babies will need some foster parents or else they will be return to the normal orphanage ( I kinda of like being call to be one, but at this point I m not so sure . And don't want to make any decision because to be a foster parents it is a HUGE responsibility and to say good bye to one baby that you already love it is unbearable to me)
All the babies are adorable ! they are so cute and my girls adore them all. They are in love with these babies. And even Maya is not affected by the " imperfection" but she likes the babies just like normal babies. Indy loves them too . They both want me to take one home! LOL. And it is nice to see both of Indy and Maya take the role of the big sisters. Specially for Maya since she is still the "baby" of our family.
We will visit the home more often. It is good to give the babies abit of tender loving care and personal and physical contacts.
