Alyssa's Birth City

Well....One of the commonly asked questions Julie and I receive is "Where in China was Alyssa born?"

Alyssa was born on September 7, 2004 in MaoNan China. MaoNan is located in the coastal area of Southern China, which is in the Guangdong Province. Alyssa was placed in a beautiful park where she could easily be found by the local people. Alyssa was found and taken the local police station. The police station then took Alyssa to the MaoNan orphanage.

On April 19, 2005, Julie and I received the referral letter from The China Center of Adoption Affairs (CCAA). The letter included two pictures of Alyssa and a brief medical history. We were ecstatic....So estactic we forgot to hit the record button on our cam corder to film this exciting time. Julie and I left for Beijing China on June 10 2005.

Hard to believe that someone can just drop a baby off in a park.
