"The orphanages are horrible--the babies are cold, wrapped in rags, with terrible diaper rash."

I still have those handmade quilted rags my daughter wore when we became her parents. Her "nanny" made sure she was warm by crafting what she could for clothing.

Chinese babies wear split pants, no diapers.

Not what I read, but maybe both are true.

Oh, let me clarify that post - that was when we became the parents of our infant daughter - who's now six, was adopted at 8 mo's.

Our second child is older - adopted this past December at 13 yrs old - and speaks fluent Mandarin....;-)
