"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.

It's GOTCHA Day...

So it's 4:00 am on Cali's Gotcha day and we cannot sleep. In an hour or so, we head to the airport to fly to Guangzhou in Guangdong Province, Southern China to meet our little girl. We look toward our meeting with overwhelming excitement and anticipation! It's hard to believe that this long awaited day is finally here!
