Day 1
Thursday, November 4, 2004 - Leaving Home
And, we are off...somewhere over the rainbow...to the land where babies are
abundant and our angel awaits.
Tonight we tidy up, get our nerves under control, take a deep breath, try to
get wink of sleep and dream about our pot of gold, on the other side of our
rainbow. It is 7:30AM in Nanchong, Sichuan China and my daughter is waking up to
Thursday morning, her last Thursday in an orphanage, her last Thursday without
parents, without a family.
And, at 7:30 AM Thursday morning, our time (EST) we leave on our long awaited
journey. Our last Thursday without her. It's been 15 months but that is not too
long when it comes to making our dreams come true.
Although our daughter lives in an orphanage and no family...we find that we
are the lucky ones. Lucky that she will be our daughter, lucky that "The
Matchmaker" put her in our lives.
An invisible red thread connects those who are destined to meet. The thread
may stretch or tangle, but it will never break. -- Chinese Proverb
We will write again, from China.
