The Friend Family
We are a family of four who became a family of five on November 9, 2008 when we adopted a 9-year-old girl from Shaanxi province in China. The travel portion of this blog, from November 4 through November 22, 2008 highlights our adventures in China. The following entries are snapshots of our family life now that we're back home.
