Our Red Thread JourneyOur Red Thread Journey Chinese folklore says there is an invisible red thread connecting those who are destined to meet, regardless of time, place or circumstance. The thread may stretch or tangle, but never break. This is our red thread journey as we make a lifetime commitment through adoption from China. Thursday, November 23, 2006 Giving Thanks Well, it’s been a while since I last posted. As I alluded to in a post back in August I will most likely not update this blog, that is unless blogger implements some of their privacy features in their new version and release it for the masses. In which case I will update infrequently. I am reclaiming our privacy and do not relish the idea of sharing pictures of our daughter out of safety considerations. Now with that being said this will be the last photo I publish of her since we’ve returned until I can password protect pictures in Blogger. Words cannot describe the joy Jen and I have in our hearts over having this beautiful little girl in our lives. We are humbled and feel unworthy to be graced with her. She is a constant source of happiness and wonderment for us. Indeed, when everyone was saying the waiting anxiety will wash away once you get your little one, they weren’t kidding. And the waiting was more then worth it. I would have waited another year or two or more to have this little one in our lives. Teresa’s progress since we came home has been tremendous. We had a developmental needs assessment done on her and she did not qualify for the program as she is progressing normally for her age. She is now picking up food and feeding herself, she holds her bottle now, and will take baby food via a baby spoon. She did none of these when we were in China and shortly after our return. She loves music and will dance to her little music tunes. It’s very cute. <...
