THANK YOU !

We are blocked from our blog in China, so our good friend, Charlotte, is updating the blog for us. THANK YOU! We traveled with Charlotte when we adopted Lela. Her daughter, Raeghan, is only one day younger than Lela and they are SWI sisters.


Thanks for all your comments. We can read them via anonymouse.org, but can't reply.

Keep on commenting, we love to hear from you !!!!!

Mother's Day

Last spring while riding the train home from the city where I had just handed in the last of Lian's paperwork, I had nothing to do since I had gone through all my reading material while waiting at the Chinese Embassy. I got out a notepad and this poem started to flow and practically wrote itself. Adoption can be bittersweet as there is no gain without a loss.
