We knew when we adopted Claire that we'd be back to China for another baby. Join us on our journey to adopt our second child!

Adoption Jargon
L.I.D. - Log In Date - the date China got our main file. This was March 5, 2008.
L.O.I. - Letter Of Intent - the letter we wrote to China asking if Ren can be ours.
L.O.A. or L.S.C. - Letter of Acceptance or Letter Seeking Confirmation - the letter from the Chinese government that says Ren is ours upon our confirmation. This usually takes several months to arrive.
T.A. - Travel Approval (also known as "Notice of Coming to China for Adoption") - letter from the Chinese government that gives us permission to enter China and receive Ren. Usually comes about 1 month after the L.O.A. We book our tickets to China once we get this letter.

About Me
- Monica
- I've always loved photography. In high school and university, I took photography classes but ultimately chose a career in law and left my passion behind. Now that I'm a stay-at-home mom to two amazing kids, my passion in photography has re-ignited.

LOVELY and LIVELY:)
Beautiful pictures! Beautiful kids!
How cute are those?! They look like such a brother and sister team with Claire looking adoringly at Ren and he being a typical brother and looking a little aloof!
Claire's dress is gorgeous, I don't think I've ever seen one as pretty as that. I really have to get to China soon just to do some shopping!
Ok, I really have the chinese blood, because I LOOOOOOVE these red outfits! Ren looks incredible and so does Claire.
W-O-W-W-W! They are such darlings. Thank you sooooo much for sharing these on your blog.
I think Claire has had some Camera experience! I dream of getting Johanna to just have a little fun while we take pictures - not happening so far. Great to see brother and sister all dressed up.

Gorgeous shots! Did you get the same photographer as last time?
I LOVE Those photos..
Especially little Claire kissing Ren..
TOOO CUTE>>
Have a great day..
Hugs..
OOOOhhhh my goodness. They are so cute. Claire is in complete awe and now I want photos too. Wish my girl would pose.
It must be so great to be doing this for the second time. I would know so much more now.

My parents just came over to visit and scrolled through your blog. They say you have a very handsome boy and lovely little girl on your hands.
They aawwwwwed a lot throughout the beautiful studio pics and all the gorgeous outfits Ren was wearing!
They wish you all the best and looking forward to you all getting home to Edmonton.
Wow! I'm so impressed that you were able to get these photos done. They are adorable!
Blessings,

Amazing clothes, and amazing photos. The red is stunning, and you have beautiful subjects. What a keepsake.
Monica,
The pictures are precious! I love the one of Claire peeking out from behind her little big brother Ren!
What treasures you have!!
