Finding Ad

Before a orphanage in China can declare a child eligible for adoption, they must place an ad in local paper.  We were lucky enough to get a copy of the actual newspaper she was listed in.

Translation:  
On November 25, 2011, an abandoned baby was found at the gate of the Yugan County Social Welfare Institute.  Name is Yue Li Mian, Female.  She was born on November 25, 2011.  Characteristics of body: She has an oval face, single-eyelids, and black hair.
