Adoption Reunion

Tuesday, April 15, 2008
I am so behind in things I want to post about but we have been very busy here.

Denise and Maggie are home! It was so wonderful and emotional at the airport. I feel incredibly blessed to have been a part of such a special life moment. I did, however, learn that I get too caught up in the emotion to concentrate on my photography in situations like that. I made them a little video slide show of the event. If you want to see it, click here.

We feel so fortunate that two new families are home from China and Kate will have two new friends in Lily and Maggie!

We had a great time at our travel group get together in Gettysburg this past weekend. My boys called it "Yetisburg" (as a joke) and they were looking for a Yeti! After the reunion, we visited some of the battlegrounds too. I'll post those photos soon.

I made this slide show for our travel group but thought I'd share it here too. I wish there were more photos of all the kiddos but as I was chasing Kate, I got many more of her. Also, my camera was on the wrong setting and about a third of my photos were out of focus. I'll do better next year !

Someone asked if our travel group was all from the same area. No, in fact we are from opposite ends of PA and another state further south. We chose a middle point and all traveled there.




Our Adoption Travel Group

We met our adoption travel group while we were in PA for Christmas. One of the families we will travel with hosted us for lunch in their home. They have two delightful boys about the same ages as our boys and they played well all afternoon. I enjoyed getting to know the people that Dave and Will are going to spend two weeks in China with. They will do most of their sight-seeing together and they will share special moments together such as meeting our children and making the adoptions official. Our children will share such a unique history. They are a lovely group of people and we hope to continue our relationship with them over the years. All of our children will likely come from the same orphanage and we would like for them to get together regularly.
