My daughters Sarah and Rachel have completed their latest adoptions. I thought everyone might like to see a family photo.
Here they are, basically left to right:
My daughter Sarah with her daughters Elizabeth (in pink, adopted from Maoming as an infant) and LuJing (in black silk pajamas, adopted from Maoming as a 6-year old)
Then there are my other granddaughters Sally AnaMing (in stripes, adopted as a 4 year old from Fengcheng) and Baby Baluga (in purple, adopted as an infant from Fengcheng). Next to them on the right is their proud mother (and my daughter) Rachel.
Sarah and Rachel were able to adopt as single mothers — they made it through before the recent program changes in China. I’m happy to say all my grandchildren made a wonderful adjustment to life in the U.S.A. The humidity we’ve had in the last couple of days does remind them of China, and makes the older ones miss their former homes just a wee bit. But they are happy to have a family.
They’re a good looking bunch, aren’t they? I’m proud as can be.
