Everything is coming together in the most beautiful way- a tapestry of love being woven around me.
I was extremely touched by two offers to hold a fundraiser for me.   friends . My friend Kathy is taking two weeks off to travel to China with me.  I can't imagine anyone else other than mom that I would rather have with me. During a prayer time at church, someone had a picture of God enlarging my heart through this adoption process.  Through many years of disappointment, some arteries had become clogged  and my heart was not experiencing a life flow.  I can already feel my heart enlarging through the extravagant generosity of my friends. 

What I love most is seeing how each friend has something uniquely special to contribute to this journey.  Bette Jayne and I worked on Yi Mei's photo book this weekend.  I will send this book to Yi Mei when I receive my official Letter of Acceptance from China.  The book will be read to her by her caregivers to prepare her for adoption.  I took pictures of her bedroom, school, neighborhood kids, new mother, grandparents, uncle and of course, Freedom.  I can't wait to send her the book.  Thanks to Bette and her scrap booking talents, I love the way the book turned out .
