"We often think of the intersections in our lives, those that are planned, those that occur by chance. Some encounters we hope for, particularly love, and alas, some meetings never happen despite what we wish. I think of how those intersections have the potential to change us, our character, our circumstances, our hopes. We think about how they add to the unfinished story of our lives"...(Amy Tan, Mei Mei, 2005) Chinese folklore speaks of invisible red threads that connect a newborn child's spirit to all the people who will be important in the child's life. As the child grows, the threads shorten, drawing closer those people who are destined. We anxiously await this special meeting, a life changing intersection which will soon take us to China to bring home our little daughter, Cali Griffin.

Getting Closer


We're getting closer to holding our baby girl!!! Our part of the official travel paperwork is now completed and we have our visas. Today, we received the letter that is the catalyst to put the final pieces of the puzzle together. There will be some other documents gathered/contacts notified and then our appointments will be made all on the Chinese end of things. We should receive a call in 4-6 weeks, from our agency, letting us know our travel dates,etc. So, it looks like we still may travel in March, at least that is our hope...fingers crossed!
