We started this journey many years ago, knowing that our daughter was waiting for us somewhere in China. That journey began in 2004, but after a setback healthwise, we had to pull out, thinking our hopes were dashed forever. Then in late 2005, with renewed purpose and strength we again began the process of our adoption. We were logged into China March 28th, 2006, and were matched with our Dear Daughter, October 13th, 2009. GOTCHA 12/14/09 Forever Ours 12/15/09



Today, we spent at the Porcelain Factory. I've been on a mission to purchase a minimum of eighteen gifts from China to present to our daughter on every Birthday, oh yeah, and something for her wedding too. With that in mind, we found the most amazing porcelain dishes...... what we at home call "China", funny, they didn't understand what I was talking about when I mentioned I wanted to purchase China.... oh yeah, as if the Country was for sale. Anyway, we ended up buying out the store, at least that's what everyone is joking about.
After that, we walked through the local area to get a taste of the local life. This is our group.... well, part of the group. They are a great bunch of people, people that will be ever entwined in our lives, as it's all of our goals to keep these children in touch with one another. A lot of families that adopt together have annual outings,and I'm sure that we will do the same. We get along famously...... truly a nice bunch of people.
The following pictures are just some shots that I found of interest :)
