China 2007

We left the hotel at 7:45am to drive to Anren, where we would be meeting H’s foster grandmother. We drove for about 2 hours on a main highway – mostly farmland and brick and tile houses. Then we turned off on a more rural road, lots of giant potholes at times. In the city of Anren, we met grandma's sister, who would lead us to grandma's village. The sister speaks Mandarin and the local dialect, while grandma only speaks the dialect.
