On December 3rd, 2007 our son, Michael, was placed in our arms. He was 14 months old and we were in Changsha, China. Three years and three days later, his sister, Kailey, joined our growing family in Guangzhou, China. Thanks to all of you that follow our journey.

Surprise Pictures


This picture was in my email this morning. Surprise, it's your daughter! A lovely lady, that we connected with from the orphanage chat group, sent this to us. She was there visiting and was so kind as to take time from her own trip to seek out Kailey for strangers. Two months have passed since our last contact and it was overwhelming feeling to be in contact with someone that saw and touched our real, live daughter.
She told us that Kailey was descibed to them as clever. She also said that she was playing happily with friends until the strangers tried to interact with her. At that point she was appropriately leary of them.
She saw her again the next day in the crib room, where she was talking intently with the girl in the next crib. Thank you M.W. Your kindness is greatly appreciated.
