Query Text:

A couple who were in Hong Kong on Good Friday in 1996. You(Dad)were in the lobby of the Victory Hotel with your daughter, Emily. You told me that your wife was upstairs with her sister. You had adopted twins. You were leaving for some place in Florida the next day. Long story short. When I held MY daughter the first time I looked at her I couldn't believe my eyes. I was holding Emily! My Brianne was a carbon copy of your Emily. When we asked what their names meant I always got the run around. Finally one day we toured a temple where they did the Chinese calligraphy and the gentleman told me it meant, "three small hills." Also the orphanage workers couldn't let her go. They were holding her, playing with her....and paying zero attention to the other ones in our group. To the point the one mother became offended. I got her back as we were going out the door. There was a LOT of special attention with her on many occasions with people who were in a position to know her circumstances. I have always wondered if they separated a set of triplets so it would be more economically feasiable to have them adopted. Briannes hair wasn't cut but it took forever to come in. Also Bri was so small for her age. Eleven pounds at six months. I remember the two of you like it was yesterday. One reason was you look a lot like a former pastor. And two, Emily was the first little angel I saw who was leaving China. I always wondered if she was part of a multiple birth and when she gets married that info would be nice to have. Also any siblings is always a plus since she has so little info about her life there. Any connection is a plus. Thank you for reading this and any help is appreciated.
