Just got back from China with our daughter
Hi there
It seems like ages that I posted on this site but wanted to say Hi to everyone and let you know we just got back with our daughter Kayla. She is a SN child - VSD repaired a year ago. She is now 2 1/2yrs old. What a darling I can't tell you. We originally hadn't planned for a toddler but if we were doing it again that is what we would request. Our blog is You Belong Eaton family........at home. I have mostly caught up with it, just a few days still but most of it is there for you to see if you want. I used to love looking at people's blogs before we left. If there are any questions about travel to China let me know while it is still fresh in my brain. lots of love to everyone out there, hang in with the waiting..........I swear it is worth it in the end........although I used to wonder when people said that to me! Kim E

Congratulations on your daughter.
I agree it is all worth it in the end. Once you have your child, you forget about all the heartache of the wait.

We paid 30Yuan for the Chinese style dress on Shamian Island. That is about $4!! The shoes were 25Yuan about $3.30. I saw some at the local airport and they were $15 - $30 so it sure does vary as to where you buy.
