One Year Ago Today....

Mia joined our family. It was a hot, humid afternoon in Nanchang, the capital city of Mia's birth province. Our travel group had flown from Beijing to Nanchang just that morning. Eight families ready to adopt ten baby girls, ages 6 months to 17 months. We traveled to the Civil Affairs office and after Veronica made sure all the babies were there, she called out each babies' name. The family then stepped forward to receive their child. When they called "Ji Lu Xing" the assistant director for Mia's orphanage presented our daugher to us. Jeff captured the moment. That is our Chinese guide, Veronica, in the background. An angel in a green T-shirt, as we would soon learn.
