That is why we are so happy to have such a huge network of friends with children adopted from China in town. I pretty much found this group on the internet (this site, actually - a few of us just started chatting about the long wait for the I-171H back in Fall of 2005) and our group has grown to about 25 families so far - all with daughters around the same age as ours. I am so thankful for this group - not only for the friendships we have made and the support during the wait, but also for what it will provide for our children now and in the future.
