Around 3:30 on the morning of September 13 there was a little baby girl that was left at the gate. 6 days old with a cleft lip and palate, her parents left her with blankets, a piece of paper with her name (Jin Qiu) on it, and 200 RMB, which is about 30 US Dollars, and quite a bit to most village people. Most likely they just couldn't take care of her and were probably too poor to pay for her surgery. She was only with us for 3 days and was then taken to the local orphanage because of new rules regarding child abandonment in the area. Hopefully she can come back to us. Isn't she beautiful?
Another thing was left here recently that is becoming all too common... more puppies. Yes, you read that right. 2 days ago, somebody decided to leave 3 puppies yet again. These are at least a little older than the first bunch and aren't quite as high maintenance.

She is beautiful. And I hope that precious one will make it back to you all. It breaks my heart to look at that sweet face and think of her going into an orphanage.

I cannot imagine how heartbroken Jin Qiu's parents must be right now and I hate that she had to go to the orphanage :( I hope that she can come back soon. As for the puppes, I think that maybe your mom is wrong and you should bring the puppies home too!

I know they put rules and regulations up for a reason, but what policy changed her ability to stay? Whatever it is, it's messed up. I'm not sayin your Mom is wrong, mothers are never wrong. . . but I tend to agree with Ashley, those puppies are freakin adorable
Tabitha, It is times like this I pray for the parents who give up their babies...either for medical reasons, for lack of money or food, or because of other hard circumstances. I cannot imagine the pain that mom and dad will feel for years to come. They obviously want more for her and hoping for the best for her. Her face is beautiful...thank you for sharing...and for all of your love for these kids!
