This is the voyager's log of a wayward traveler. This is a journal of thoughts and feelings of an adopted girl from Shanghai, who after ten years returned home to visit China. Yude was born in Shanghai, China and was abandoned before the age of one. She lived in a city orphanage until she was adopted at age 12 and was renamed Theresa after her adoption. She presently works and lives in Oregon with her husband and adorable son. Jan Tanner is Theresa's adoptive mother. She is a clinical child psychologist presently working with military families.
