So close but so far away.

An online friend of mine got to see Hazel last week.  Her little guy that she's adopting is in Hazel’s groupa in her orphanage. I asked her if she would PLEASE try to get some pictures of Hazel for us. They let her go up to the entrance of their groupa and they brought Hazel out to see her so she could take a few pictures for us.



Ah, there’s our baby girl. It looks like she’s saying, “I’m still here, Mom and Dad. When are you coming to get me out of this place?”

There is no air conditioner in the building, so off went the hair. She looks different, but still as cute as a button, I think. At least they don’t shave it off like they do at most orphanages.

Knowing that Allison was there made Hazel feel a little closer to us. What a gift these pictures have been for us.
