Proud parents



Here we are at our adoption agency, US Asian Affairs, picking up Jemm'a photos the day after we received our "2nd call". It was a very emotional afternoon and we were glad to share it with our new friends, Bebe & Wayne, and Mark & Nicki, who will be traveling with us to China. Though we will all be traveling to different provinces, we will spend the last week together in Guanzhou and of course, a ton of time together in Los Angeles. We'd be friends with these people even if we weren't adopting together! they're just so great. In fact, we've made so many new friends through this process and feel very fortunate to have a built-in community of sisters for Jemma. Very cool.

Hi Ellen and John!

Please ask Bebe & Wayne, and Mark & Nicki, to email me so I can get their information for our travel group list (private, or I would just post it here).

Most of the people traveling with us have participated in this exchange of information -- including you (thanks!)! It would be great to have 100% participation. Plus, it's fun to see the families who are adopting from our Province or SWI and the list allows us to see who'll be sharing that incredibly special day with us. Gotcha day is coming soon! Thanks!!
