Wow! Our Letter From The Orphanage Director

Dear Paul and Kristen Braxton,

Greetings to you! We were so happy to receive your letter. Thank you for adopting Long Fu Jia and giving her a happy family. Here is the info about Long Fu Jia. Long Fu is her last name, which is taken from “Long Yan Fu Li Yuan”, which means “Long Yan Social Welfare Institute”. Jia is her first name, which is the name of an ancient music instrument. Her name was chosen by the caretaker of our orphanage, which embodies our best wishes for her. Long Fu Jia was born with cleft lip. She received the surgery to repair her cleft lip in Xiamen City on December 31, 2005. The operation was successful. She has recovered very well. She is now very healthy. She has no allergies. After her surgery in 2005, to help her grow up healthily, we placed her under the foster care of Niu San Ai and her husband. They love her very much. Long Fu Jia now has a good appetite. She is not particular about foods, and she likes meats and apples. She likes stuffed dolls. She is very lovely and likes to follow the people in TV programs to sing and dance. She likes to go to the park or play in the playground. She is a little afraid of the real kitty and puppy. Long Fu Jia cries a lot, especially when she just wakes up. She is gentle and quiet and do not like to be with strangers. But if you keep on showing your kindness, she will accept you very soon and play with you.

There was no note or other memento when she was sent to our orphanage. We published her finding ad on December 5, 2005. When you come to adopt her officially, we will give you a copy of the finding ad.

Finally, we would like thank you for you care and support. Our orphanage is in relatively urgent need of children’s clothes, washing machines, electrical water heater, and etc.

Best Wishes,

Long Yan City Xin Luo District Social Welfare Institute
