The Year of the Snake

Chinese New Year began on February 10th. And for those of us who have been blessed to experience a Chinese or Korean adoption, we know that all government offices close for a whole week during the Chinese New Year. This means that yet another delay is encountered by anyone waiting to bring their child home. However, these little darlings are worth the wait, and we gathered last Sunday to celebrate them and the biggest holiday of their heritage. (Blessing #1112). Unfortunately, we were missing two little darlings, who were hit by the influenza bug.

Lily, Lainey, Mya, Emma, Jillian
We really don't need a reason to eat Chinese foods, but we seized the moment and filled the table with both Korean and Chinese favorites.
I love it when we can celebrate something so special with others who know what the international adoption journey is all about. (#1113). My prayer is that many, many others will get the "adoption bug" too, and step out in faith to experience one of the biggest blessings ever.
