** Adoption countdown: 1 day until Pam, Terry and Matthew return home **
GUANGZHOU, China (Wednesday, Dec. 17, 2008, 4:50 p.m.) – Thanks to the Holt International Children’s Services office in Guangzhou, Pam and I obtained a photo copy of Matthew’s abandonment newspaper ad.
These ads appear in local newspapers and are necessary before a child can be considered officially abandoned and an orphan available for adoption.
Matthew’s ad features a small mug shot and the following text:
“He Wu Di, male, was born on March 16, 2007. He was found abandoned on March 18, 2007, at the gate of Civil Affairs of HuoJia County, Xinxiang City, was sent to the Xinxiang Social Welfare Institute by HuoJia Police Station the next day. He Wu Di is round face, dark skin, congenital club foot of the right foot. He was with a bottle and a bag of formula.”
