It's hard to beleive it has been almost 10 months, this time last year we were just recieveing our LOA. I remember how excited, emotional and SCARED to death I was. Now Aubrey is sitting beside me on the couch and watching cartoons and we are at peace. One day I will write about my emotional journey during our adoption, it has certainly been a rollercoaster I never expected to ride. I always thought adoption was about wanting a child and finding a child that needed a home and then after a bunch of formalities life resumes and your family is complete, A to Z just like that. In reality that scenario is full of giant HOLES. To sum it up it has been the most fullfilling wonderful thing and the hardest thing I have ever done......I'll write a book about it one day I think:)

Shay, wanted to make sure you know about the Henan kids calendar! Emily A., another mom who has adopted kids from Henan, is putting together a calendar of all the kids adopted from that province. Proceeds will go to help orphans still in China. She needs 2 pictures of your child, plus her name and orphanage where she was adopted from. Let me know if you want to send a pic of Aubrey, nlt 11/2 - she would be so cute on the calendar, and it's for agreat cause.
