Red Threads

According to an old Chinese proverb there "an invisible red thread connects those who are destined to meet, regardless of time, place, or circumstance. The thread may stretch or tangle, but will never break."



Somewhere in China there is a little girl who was born in 2005 or 2006, whose parents could no longer care for her due to poverty or the pressures of government quotas. She was left somewhere safe; a market, the stairs of a police station, a park bench. Somewhere where people would find her quickly and take her to to a orphanage or foster home. And there she waits for us as the red thread (or in our case red tape) that links us together gets shorter.
