We recently acquired these photos of Jemma at her orphanage from a woman who visited in August 2005 - just three weeks before we held her for the first time. Jemma's in the back sitting up, being attended to by her favorite Nanny. We were so touched to learn that the play area was cheerful and full of activity and that the children were very bonded to their caretakers. We were not able to visit the orphanage due to the measles outbreak - in fact the woman who took these photos told us that she was quarantined in her hotel as a result of her visit!

Wow E! Those are so wonderful! Miss Norah must be somewhere in that room. I love how they are all dressed in the same little outfits...What a treasure to get those photos :)
