Adoption Happenings
Saturday was a busy day for us! We had a Waiting Families Seminar with the Families with Children from China organization. Before we left, our fire department was toned out for a major structure fire. I was so bummed about missing it and really thought hard about missing the meeting. We both figured that our daughter was more important though and that we need to learn as much as we can before heading off to China.
The meeting was held at the library. Families who have already been through the process bring their little ones and share their stories. Waiting families can ask questions and get advice. It was wonderful seeing the little, bitty babies/toddlers. Even though they were all about 15 months old, they were so little. I loved hearing the stories and I took lots of notes!
After the meeting we headed over to one of our social worker's house for a Chinese New Year Party on behalf of our agency. There were so many families. Most had their kiddos already and there were some who were waiting just like us! It was so great to just hang out and watch the kids and talk to the other people. John and I really connected with a family who got their sweet little girl about a year ago. I hope we get to see them again!
John had a ton of fun at the arts and craft table. Who knew he could be so artistic! :oD
Next Saturday there is another Chinese New Year event and we are so excited. It's going to be a super big party. Plus that is our 10th wedding anniversary. WOOHOO!
Today was a lazy day. I am not feeling too well. I went over to Heidi's house to do some scrapbooking. I actually got some layouts done! I am so proud of myself. I just love scrapping with Heidi because she is so much fun. She also buys all the latest and greatest and then shares with me. She is such a giver and has such a big heart. I just love Heidi to pieces.
I didn't stay too long though since I wasn't feeling to well. I came back home and crashed on the couch to read and keep an eye on the Super Bowl commercials.

You know the more I read your blog the more I'm happy for the child you are adopting! I'm sure you will give it such a happy home. I'm Chinese myself so I see it before how hard it is for them living without much hope of getting a loving home. Your child is lucky not only to find a woman but people like you two. Hugs.
