It never cease to amaze me what good there is in the world along with what stupidity.
This fascinating entry came to me and was an inspiration and motivator!
"Hi Friends, I follow a few other websites on Chinese Adoption, and this Family is biking across the US to raise money for Half the Sky Foundation. Such a fantastic story. Their daughter is 6, and they are on a triple bike. Can you imagine. Here is the link for you to follow and also if you want to make a donation to Half the Sky.http://www.crazyguyonabike.com/journal/nunesfamily2006Love to all!Kris Thibault, Pelham, NHDH RandyDS Hunter, Age 4, Uzhgorod, Ukraine 7/24/03DD Julia, Age 15 months, Guandgong Province 12/5/05 (home 6 mths!)"
Steve just went out for a run and it is near Father's Day weekend. We are taking Steve's day to be knighted at at a castle at 7000 Arundel Mills Circle, Hanover, MD.

Aloha Hawaii! Waiting for our daughter or daughters or twins is a long wait. Steve has taken to running and it does release those happy hormones for him to relax him. I try to think of soothing beach imagery to take my mind off the wait. I have the nursery ready and am trying to make travel plans to possibly stop in Hawaii. Our next door neighbors leave for Taiwan on Tuesday. My family building process has taken about twenty years and included a stillborn and miscarriage. It is a emotional wait and ardous. We miss our precious daughter and of course, no one can replace her. A good friend from Holland is coming to visit mid-week and this is encouraging. I may try to fly direct to China via Toyko, Japan or go via Hawaii (Honnulou and Kaui--a picture perfect island) on Northwest or All Nippion Air Lines.
