We got to see Sierra while we were in China earlier this month. Oh my! What a sweetheart! She is 5 years old and is blind. She loves to be held and stroked softly.

When we arrive home form a trip to China or Taiwan we have so much information! We saw hundreds of children in the weeks we were there. We have a sheet detailing our time spent with them for each one. We have thousands of photos. I took 4, 175 photos in the two weeks I was there and 320 videos. Each of these must be edited and placed in the correct child's folder. Then the information sheets, the photos, and the videos all need to be uploaded to Dropbox. That's a whole lotta uploading!

We are home again and working through jet lag and the normal fog of re-entry into our everyday lives. We have hundreds of forms and videos and thousands of pictures that we are organizing in order to get them out to families waiting for updates and to use for advocacy.

We weren't able to blog last night due to poor internet speed, but I don't want to miss blogging about the wonderful day we had at the Enmei orphanage! It was such a great way to end our time seeing children for this trip. Between giving packages to the matched children and seeing sweet little familiar faces and meeting new children it was just perfect.

Connection is one of those words that adoptive parents and prospective adoptive parents use and think about a lot. Before you meet your child it may be one of your biggest questions. Will my child be able to form a connection, a bond with their new family? Will they have received enough love to keep their little hearts open to be able to give and receive love?
