"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.

Headed to China

Our Travel Approval has arrived!!!

We're headed to China to meet our precious Cali Jean Xiaoqing on March 24! We're just a little excited around here at the Griffin house...we've been running around making plans and scheduling flights, etc. We just can't believe that after all of this waiting, we're finally going to meet our little girl in about 28 days (a few days in Beijing first)...so freakin' sweet!
