Our journey to Isabel has been long. In December of 2005 we made the decision to adopt a daughter from China. At the beginning of this process we thought that it would take about a year and a half from start to finish. That was not the case. The paperwork soon followed and we were logged in on LID October 12, 2006. We waited month after month only to find that the wait time was going to be much longer than we had anticipated. Finally in May of 2009 we were placed with our daughter Hui Ping our little Isabel.
After such a long wait the time has finally come for us to meet our little girl and bring her home. We will leave for Beijing China on July 16, 2009 and return seventeen days later on August 1, 2009. We have created this blog to document our trip as well as a way for family and friends to follow our journey.
