Surprise!!!!!



Yes, there is a very good reason that we have not posted on the blog for a while.  We have been getting ready for our son.  His Chinese name is Rao Xi Ping.  We will call him Cameron Arthur Xi Ping.  He is 11 months old and is currently living  in Shangrao City, Jiangxi.  The same province that Grace is from!  We hope to be traveling to get him late summer or early fall.  Grace is very excited to be a big sister and to return to China.

I will post more info and details in coming days and weeks.

Congratulation on such a handsome fella! Our daughter, Eva, is from Shangrao. She is now 6, but adopted on her first birthday.

Congrats!!! Just found this on Rumor Queen!! He is adorable. I don't know if you remember me I met you 2 yrs ago at CAWLI New Years party I am friends with Gail who traveled with you when you picked up Grace. I am looking forward to following your journey.

I have not been reading many blogs lately, but yours is still on my Google reader, which I just decided to look at! :) CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I'm so excited for you both! So cool your kids are from the same province!

Grace is beautiful- I can't get over how big she is now! After following along way back when you brought her home, it doesn't seem that enough time has passed for her to be this grown up already!

Congratulations again- you'll LOVE having a son! Can't wait to tag along on your journey!! :)

Jen and Steve,

I stumbled upon your blog from the CAWLI website. You two were in the same Special Needs Workshop we attended last April 30th. Along with Steven King, we also had a Meg Ryan in that same group. I often wonder how all of the folks that attended that workshop are doing. Looks like you are doing great--congratulations on your new baby boy! We too are doing great--Lillian found us the perfect little 11 month old girl last September and we traveled to get her this past January. She is a pure joy! Really cool is that our daughter, Elise Isabella is a Shangrao City girl too--from the Rao orphanage like your son--so they must have overlapped! Ken and Linda--contact at lfr@uhs.umass.edu

Surprise indeed :) So happy for you.

We're waiting for our DTC, but no file yet...

Still trying to figure out the "out of the box" matching that some folks do, as opposed to get your LID and then "wait for the call" track that seems to be the only way most agencies talk about it.

He's darling and I think it's hilarious that we're on such a similar timeline again. Go. Have a cannoli on me :)
