Since 1999, the orphanages in China have been required to run a provincial newspaper
advertisement for children that are found and brought to their orphanage. They are called "Finding Ads." These ads contain information about where and when the
children were found and which orphanage is caring for them. Originally these
were text-only ads, but most provinces now include photographs in their ads.
These photographs are usually the earliest available pictures of the children,
some from as young as a few weeks old.
Until recently this was the youngest photo we had of Audra...
her referral photo...in which we estimate she is approximately 3-4 years old.
And this is Audra's "finding ad"...
She is number 0117
(which indicates that hers is the 117th picture ad in the year 2008)
Her ad was published in the "Yangcheng Evening News" on
February 6, 2008...four months after being found.
So we estimate that she is approximately 3-4 months old in this picture.
PRICELESS beyond imagination!!
