From this day forward, you shall not walk alone. My heart will be your shelter and my arms will be your home.
Welcome!
Thank you for joining us on our family's journey to adopt our daughter from China.

Erin, Brad and Quinn -
ReplyDeleteI am so happy for you all. I've followed your loooong wait through Margy and now it's almost time! Lilah is a real beauty.
Our daughter Lydia (adopted in 1998, now a thriving 7th grader) is from nearby Nanchang, which you are very likely to fly in to. Nice city -- We were just there in March, and enjoyed showing Lydia her birthplace. I'd predict that Quinn will have a great time in China. We also returned to the famed White Swan Hotel in Guangzhou, which you'll also probably get to enjoy - waterfalls in the lobby, sumptuous breakfast buffet and 2 swimming pools!
I read two lovely books while in China this trip that you might enjoy before or during your trip: Wuhu Diary is the story of a mom bringing her 5-year-old back to live in China for a few months. Oracle Bones is a beautiful combination of history with contemporary commentary. And if you want something light, Nicole Mones is an American who writes contemporary romances set in China - The Last Chinese Chef and Lost in Translation (not related to the movie).
I'm sure you have many resources for planning, but don't hesitate to give me a call: 253-756-1766, juliagarnett@harbornet.com.
Congratulations!!
