Alyssa's Baby Shower

Friends and Family,

We are so excited with all of the responses that we have received. Julie and I are hoping that we can tell our (Alyssa's) adoption story with families who are either pondering adopting from China or another foreign country. We hope our journey will assist other families who are struggling with their decision to go forward with the adoption. Our message is simple, although trying and frustrating, it's all worth it. We are lucky to have Alyssa and we hope that just maybe, our adoption story will inspire a family to adopt from China, where there are millions of baby girls who need families.

We hope you all enjoy this blog and continue to leave comments.....

So let the journey begin...
