Adoption Video

Hi Adoption Friends,

How I have enjoyed following you all on your journeys to China!

We were united with our daughter last January, but I still like to hear what other people are doing and going through. It is all still so fresh in my mind and I feel for all your waiting, paperwork headaches, and anticipation.

We finally got around to posting a little video of our quest to China. For anyone who is interested:

and follow the "watch the video" link.

Best wishes for the rest of your process! Many of you are in the homestretch now or will be very soon! Congratulations.

Wow. That was really great. Thanks for sharing.

Now I REALLY can't wait to go. We just got our confirmation that our dossier was accepted in Bejing.

Well, my mascara's all gone now!!

Beautiful. Gorgeous. Stunning. Thank you so much for posting your video - I needed that today. My grandmother used to tell me that everyday you would come in contact with someone who would be your sunshine for that day if you needed it. And today, your little Riley is filling my world oh so brightly right now.

Thank you for providing me (and all of us) with so much needed hope and best wishes to you and your growing family.

All my best,
Karen in NC

OK, DO NOT watch this at work! I am a mess (tears, tears, tears)! What a beautiful way to capture and share your experience and Riley is a doll! Yeah! Thanks for making my day a little brighter!

What a beautiful family. I started bawling my eyes out...thank you for sharing. I loved that last song...what is the title of it and who is the artist performing it? I know the others, but I need to find that last song on itunes and download it because it was just beautiful.

Thanks for the great feedback. Just think... soon you all will have your own stories to share too!!

The last song is "Heaven" by the band Live. This was our theme song through out our process - very special lyrics to us.
