And in other news............


Well, lets see............On the aforementioned (is this really a word?) weekend trip with my Mom, we attended my final baby shower. It was wonderful! With aunts, cousins, and long time friends. The newest friend there......... I've known for 6 or 7 years. The oldest friends? Since kindergarten.......... This was an intimate gathering that involved a hilarious stroll down memory lane. I laughed until my sides hurt. I'll post pics later. My friend, Kellie, took them on her camera and she'll send me the CD when she gets a minute. She's the mother of an active toddler though, so I'm not gonna rush her!
Oh! This is cool. I got an e-mail from Tracy of the "One more Tracy" blog---link to the left. If you recall, she's the one who sent me an e-mail from China (when she was there adopting her dtr, Mary Clare), to tell me that she asked about Amelia.
Anyway, she e-mailed that her dtr's finding ad is listed on the same page as Amelia's. Why is that a big deal? Well, think about it. These little girls were abandoned in the same city just a couple of months apart, taken to the same orphanage, and listed in the same edition of the paper. Then they were adopted a whole continent away, by parents who live in the same town and know each other! What are the chances of that? Especially with the thousands and thousands of people adopting Chinese babies all over the world? And from orphanages all over China? Incredible.
