OK, now we're down to the 9 days or less countdown before we leave for China. We started the International adoption process almost 2 years ago in April 2006. In December 2007 we found out who our daughter was in China and now we leave very soon to meet her. I can't believe how long we've waited but I know it will be worth the wait.
I decided to start this blog to "journal" our experience and share it with our friends and family back home. I hope it will be helpful to communicate with everyone all at the same time. When I'm in China, I will do my best to keep everyone up-to-date. (This will also help me when I have insomnia because I'm so excited to get to China and meet her, I can't sleep!)
For now, I'm posting some pictures of Ana Claire, our new 3 and half year old daughter. We will call her Claire. Her Chinese name, Shuang Qing, means "bright and clear" so we translated that into English and that's how we came up with Claire.
Tell others about this site so that they can keep up with the journey, as well. I'll post again soon.

Dear Melissa,
It will be so wonderful to be able to stay in touch and hear about your journey to China. You have chosen a beautiful name. My cousin and her husband in Milan chose the name Chiara for their daughter (which means "clear" in Italian.)
Gods blessings, Lynn :-)
Hi Melissa - I can't wait to meet her in person. One of my good high school friends has had her baby from China for about 3 years and I know what joy you will have when you get baby Claire home! Many blessings to you all for safe travels. Hugs!
Melissa and family,
I am so excited for you all. I can't imagine how anxious all of you are to get Claire home. Please tell Morgan how happy I am for her. She is going to have such fun with her new little sister. This blog is a wonderful way to document this journey. Have a safe and wonderful trip!
