Matching Room




These are pictures from a website that showed what the "Matching Room" in China looks like. This is a caption of one of the pictures:

Many parents also envision a small room with limited staff in the "Matching Room". Actually, the room is quite vast with a staff of almost twenty workers. It is a very warm and inviting room and all the staff were quite gracious and extremely proud of their work. The task is, however, quite daunting when you see the volume of dossiers that they work with. Interestingly, they take their time being quite meticulous with every single file of the parents and the children to ensure a perfect match. And as is easily attested by virtually every parent who has adopted from China: they have done just that.

Looks like they have quite the system going. Be interesting to know exactly how that process really works.
Hang in there.....
Love, Mom W.

You probably can't read it, but the signs written in Chinese in the picture say, "Do not tell the Americans that Elvis, Jim Morrison, Bruce Lee and Hunter Thompson are all living in the basement."
