What were people's reactions to it, were there many questions, did you have to talk about it a lot? Congratulations on your adoption! :DElizabethnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3219233868886406359.post-17560670368163320802011-07-26T19:32:24.798-07:002011-07-26T19:32:24.798-07:00Oh it's me again!

Looking forward to future posts on your time together in China and once home.<br /><br />If possible, please get pictures of Bi Lu when you travel to Johanna's orphanage. She will be 13 in September and is listed as having a repaired VSD. Johanna was with Bi Lu in pictures that WACAP took at the Journey of Hope camp they were in together in April. We have seen Bi Lu's file and video, and she is precious. We are still praying about our decision to adopt an older child (4 children ages 7 and younger) and would love additional information on Bi Lu. We will share this information with the Advocates for Waiting Children Yahoo Site.<br /><br />Once again, we are so excited for your family! <br /><br />Blessings,<br /><br />Carey<br />Adopted Jiake in January 2010 CHD<br />cavwildcat@gmail.comCarey and Normanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03484101623705672562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3219233868886406359.post-80171748490710806362011-07-21T11:00:06.232-07:002011-07-21T11:00:06.232-07:00So awesome!

Then the tears came.<br /><br />If you have any questions along the way, I'm here. Or if you just need someone to talk to along the way ... I've probably been there. We brought home our 10 1/2 YO son last summer. He is a JOY to parent.<br /><br />I love how her SWI was so moved to help her find a family and the things you have truly are PRICELESS. I am amazed. How very special she must be to so many people.<br /><br />Congratulations on your beautiful new girls!!!<br /><br />Leslie (hopingfor08 on RQ)<br /><br />P.S. Have you joined the Adopt 10 and up from China yahoo group? Let me know if you want a PM with a link. It is by invitation only. PM me through RQ and I can send you the link. :) We'd love to have you join us on there if you are interested.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3219233868886406359.post-56160717686430272122011-07-19T18:33:10.112-07:002011-07-19T18:33:10.112-07:00Congratulations on your new daughter.
