countdown

We are Cynthia and Jeff of Texas. Well, I finally decided to tell our story to Sara, aka Fu Jia Rui. She is 9 years old and waiting for us in Fuzhou SWI. We have a daughter, Ruth-8, from the Marshall Islands adopted at 10 days old. Her adoption took a total of 5 months from homestury to bringing her home. Sara's adoption began the beginning of May, 2005!. We were LID 10/28/05 and began our wait. On June 23, 2006 we decided to look at the SN list and found our daughter Sara on the list. We were approved and sent our LOI on 7/7. We are currently waiting for our TA (travel approval) to go to China and bring Sara home. We will be leaving Ruth with her grandparents, but she is fine with this because she is NOT interested in shots (like we are?)

3rd Grade Begins

School began today. Ruth has a wonderful teacher, Mrs Clark. She did a lot of subing for the class last year, so they are familiar with each other. I walked Ruth to the class early since we missed the Meet The Teacher day last week while in Georgia on vacation. When the day was done, she had a GREAT day and was very excited and called Jeff to tell him all about it. I really missed her during the day.
