Then we spent a good bit of time in a taxi. It was about an hour and a half out to the village where Joshua was abandoned. Apparently this 'village' (major city in the US, but less "fancy" maybe what we would call a ghetto) is like a suburb of Shenyang. First we went to the police station where he was turned in. Apologies to all you loyal readers, but they would not let us take any pictures...I mean hey, you know us. We look dangerous. However, they did give us a copy of the police report! We were thrilled about that. Would you like to know what it said? So would we, but it is in Chinese. Our guide, Summer, is planning to translate it for us tonight. The police officers gave us directions to the site where Joshua was found. That was our next destination. The site is more like a development. Lots of big, tall apartment buildings that have been completed in the past couple of years. We took a few pictures and captured what we could on video. We were not surprised to not have an exact location of abandonment to take a picture.... but, we like the symbolism.... Joshua was left on a sand pile at a construction site....what started out as a sand pile has been completely transformed...is now unrecognizable!!!!
May this be Joshua's testimony!!!
