I think these two photos, as well as the first one in the post below, were taken at the orphanage. The furniture in the background looks like the standard government office furniture we saw in China.

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

- 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.

Ren is soooooo cute..
Love the pictures...
Awesome awesome!!! These are great! I can't believe he likes KFC!!! I love KFC!!! What a great tradition, yearly KFC Bdays -- hilarious.
Looks like a gigantic Birthday cake was enjoyed and what a wonderful 2nd Birthday for this little guy. Thanks for sharing the pics with us.
Hey wait a sec... I think he's just eating the icing! Darn kids, just want the sugar!!!
How amazing that you could send him a cake for his birthday! I guess KFC is international celebration food too.
Happy Birthday Ren! Next year you'll get to celebrate #3 with your forever family. What a celebration that will be!
He's the cutest birthday boy ever!
Monica,
The new pictures are precious! Ren is so cute, love the hat! How special that they took him to KFC to celebrate! He truly is loved--it does make the wait much more bearable doesn't it?
You are right, these two photos are at the orphanage--I recognize the furniture. Love the cake! What a day he had! So happy for you for the new pictures!
Blessings~
