And here are some pictures of me with the daughters of one of the guest speakers at our conference. The guest speaker, Jeanne Laskas is an author who has written several books on her life as an adoptive mother.

Yay! The CCAA is finally done with 2005 LID's and on to 2006. They have now matched babies up to January 4, 2006. We are February 27, 2006. So, hopefully we will see our baby by this Fall.
Here are some pictures of the "East Meets West Adoption Conference." Dad, Mike and I went to this great adoption conference back in November. We flew to Tampa and spent the weekend at the Hilton with other families adopting from China. The conference was very informative. Dad, Mike and I went to different classes and shared what we learned over dinner. We also enjoyed talking with others families who are going through the same things we are. The best part though was seeing all the little Chinese American girls and babies. They were everywhere! Dad and I went to a class where families talked about their experiences during their trip to China. They all had their babies with them. They were so precious!!! I think this trip was very worthwhile and it was especially meaningful because Dad went with us.
