Reunion Weekend

We had such an amazing time with our China Travel Families! We did miss those that didn't make it!...Next Year! There were 4 families together including our family. Seeing the girls together was so special & sweet. By the end of the weekend they were interacting more, giggling at eachother, copying eachother, hugging & kissing eachother. If only we all lived closer. We feel it is so important for these girls to stay connected & have the opportunity to be life long friends. It is obvious that there is no mistake, each of these girls is with the familiy that God specifically chose for them. The weekend activities included a US Capitol tour, Air & Space Museum, Museum of National Archives, a special Chinese dinner out on Gotcha Day, Mother's Day Brunch & lots of visiting & bonding time. It was wonderful. We can't wait til we are all together again. We took lots of pictures so here are some of our favorites.

Again... How heart warming to see these precious dolls in the arms of wonderful loving families! And you are so right.. they all look different! I used to think that Chinese people all looked alike.. WRONG. What a joy for you all to get together. What a special blessing for those girls to get to bond, hopefully, year after year!
Thanks for sharing these gorgeous pictures!
Love,
