It is only a few blocks from CPP. An orphanage, Hillary Clinton, Mother Theresa, Washington. The tale of the abandoned orphange
From the abandoned orphanage article:
Location: "According to a pastor at the church next door to the home’s former location, the adoption ministry failed to take off because the Roman Catholic nuns who ran it weren’t allowed to care for babies without medical personnel on site. “I’m not sure the legal thing that came down upon them, but they realized they needed to expend their energies in another way,” said Maureen Freshour, who along with her husband, David, pastors Chevy Chase Baptist " (not directly from the article but upon further research in the vicinity of Chevy Chase Baptist Church, 5671 Western Ave, Washington, DC 20015)
Now, the building that had housed the orphanage (on Western Avenue in the affluent neighborhood of Chevy Chase, in DC) has no more bassinets. In fact, when we reported on the house in 2006, it was for sale: a $3 million Tudor mansion being advertised as an ideal embassy location in one the most affluent neighborhoods in the country, home to a host of foreign military commissions and attachés.
an explanation for its abandoned state:
the order sold the Chevy Chase house in 2002. “We work with the poor and we didn’t have any work there because it’s a rich neighborhood,” she said. The sisters, she added, are now working with the homeless and those with AIDS in a more transitional neighborhood in the northeast section of town on Otis Street. I'm digging. I'll keep updating
This to me seems like a a lead of sorts.

No, I do not. I wish I did. Maybe someone will see it and provide it.I am sure the picture was posted before Christmas. I did a little research on it and now I remember that someone said the habit of the nun looked like a Carmelite nun. Carmelites take a vow of poverty and do not speak to anyone. But I cannot remember if that was debunked or not. Again I think there is a Carmelite convent nearby. But this could be a fake convent. Who knows? They can set up anything in DC.
