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.

Neat pictures. It looks so different there. Especially the silicone shop. Everything is so neatly displayed!
Glad to see Ren looking well. Hope the kiddies are still having a good time there. Thinking of you guys, xo.
Wow. Those bring back memories. I'm glad Ren is feeling well enough to be out and about.
I always love those natural neighbourhood pics. Those are some of my faves from our trip too, all the 'stuff' and how it was displayed and transported. The silicone shop is a hoot!
Those types of pics are some of the favs from our trip too....
Ren is such a cutie!
Hugs, Jill
Looks like an interesting neighbourhood. That dog must have had a long day! Glad to see you go out and about.
Oh, you look so warm. Wearing your shorts and t-shirts. It was -20 here yesterday. Today is a bit warmer and much sunnier, but still certainly not shorts and t-shirt weather.
Ah, the first week of your trip is nearly over and it's off to Beijing soon. Almost half-way home!
Looks like you guys are getting out and enjoying yourselves though. Hope you're not too tired or overwhelmed. It doesn't sound like it.

Send good thoughts your way.

Hugs..
