Wish we had some info with which to start a search. But DD’s referral info did not name her finder and she was found on the side of a road. If I remember correctly, the referral did name the police station to which she was taken before being brought to the SWI. So what could we do? Hire Brian Stuy to travel to the province and try to obtain info (which I can only imagine must involve paying someone off for it)? And how would we know the info we received was true?? Sometimes I’m just bereft at the lack of info or seeming impossibility of finding any. We knew what the deal was when we went into adopting from China but I never imagined it would haunt me so.
