A lovely woman named Ms. Hu was the Vice Director of Mia's orphanage, Ji'An Social Welfare Institute. We met with her the day after we got Mia, and she answered many questions about Mia's time there. Among other things, she explained that she had chosen Mia's Chinese name, Xing, because it meant "active and smart." Tonight I learned through another family of a Ji'An adoptee that Ms. Hu has died suddenly of what their Chinese interpreter termed "a broken pipe in her brain."
We can surmise from how well Mia was developing that she received excellent care at Ji'An. As you can see from the photo, Mia was clearly very fond of Ms. Hu and vice versa. We intend to take Mia back to Ji'An one day, and had looked forward to re-introducing her to Ms. Hu. It is sad that she will not be able to meet the woman who was our link to Mia's infancy.
