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!

The business man
I took a few photos of Ren today in his little suit. I think Ren looks like a serious little business man in this photo, like the photo belongs on the announcements page in the business section of the newspaper.
What a sweetie. I know it's not really manly to say this but he's definitely a boy, but just so delicate in some way, like Claire. He just shines:) Beth
It is so nice to finally meet Ren. I think about Ren and his sister a lot and hear so much from Rod and Marianne. I hope they are having fun getting to know each other. Love Alma Fink (Rod's Mom from Vibank)
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.

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.

What a handsome little guy! I think you have a little male model on your hands. :)

Too cute! I'm struck by his many faces in those photos, with a slightly different look in every picture. He's very photogenic.
