Adoption in China - Jiangxi Province Family Directory Jiangxi Province Family Directory Information about the Jiangxi Province Family Directory The main intent of this directory is to be able to find and keep in touch with families who ve adopted from the same area as each other. A family or background of sorts for your daughter, which she may find more interesting as she gets older. Another purpose would be the sharing of information. Sometimes it s possible to find others who ve traveled to the orphanage and have photos or other info about it which they could share with those who weren t allowed to visit. This may not be possible for some of the smaller, more distant orphanages. But it might be possible for a traveling family to give the orphanage director a disposable camera along with postage and packaging and see if he/she will take photos and mail it back to you. This did work out for one woman, although this was a year or two ago. Even if they re not willing to photograph the orphanage they might be willing to take some pictures of the town and area. It s also helpful/reassuring for families with referrals to talk with someone that s adopted from the same orphanage. And for the families that have already adopted, it s fun to be able to send a letter and photos with the family who will be traveling. They can then give them to the orphanage director so that they, and the other orphanage workers, can see how the kid s who ve been adopted are doing. Please include the following information.
