I...It is interesting to see what they are thinking. I told my daughter about a researcher who is working on a research project from her home city, and that we would be getting a video and a book with pictures of the city and the orphanage. She asked "will he see my mother and father? Will he send us pictures of them?" She doesn't understand at all that we have no idea where to find them, although I've explained it to her several times. And I wonder what she is thinking when she refers to her mother and father in China, whether she feels like she is just marking time with me until her mother and father come to get her. Or whether she recognizes any dichotomy in the fact that she mentions and thinks about her mother and father, yet has a mother here. I guess she can have two mothers without struggling about it, at least for now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-316191265933534655.post-54170160163538653042009-01-24T07:24:00.000-06:002009-01-24T07:24:00.000-06:00Yes, thanks for posting about it.Yes, thanks for posting about it.Jeff and Madelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07330454830153579449noreply@blogger.com
