"Going Home Barbie"!


Well isn't this amazing: Barbie going home from China with a new sweet daughter! Apparently, adopting families who stay at the White Swan Hotel receive the Going Home Barbie from Mattel as a gift, provided free for all the families. The doll is exclusive to the White Swan, and neither she nor her new baby can be bought anywhere! That makes sense, since Chinese Babies are absolutely priceless!

Their Last Day in Xi'an


The current Barker-China group has just enjoyed their last day in Xi'an. Tomorrow they head off to their final stop in China: Guangzhou.

Nice Email!


Just received an email from Kristen Magnacca, Author of Love & Infertility: Survival Strategies: Balancing Infertility, Marriage and Life (LifeLine Press, September 2004) & Girlfriend To Girlfriend: A Fertility Companion (AuthorHouse, 2000):


Catherine, How amazing that you emailed. You have popped into my mind a few times over the last week. I’m so sorry to hear that you’re still in a holding pattern and waiting the arrival of your daughter. What a very difficult position for your family. I’ll keep you in my thought and prayer. Love and strength, --Kristen

With the fall leaves starting and cooler temperatures, I thought of your workshop last Oct. here at Alexandria Hospital. We are still awaiting our daughter after a 13 mos. wait. Hope you are well. Much Affection, Catherine E. Cook
