Must See YouTube clip

The author of the song played on this clip sent this link to everyone on in the FCC. It is an amazing clip. It really gives you an idea of what we are headed for. It shows the parents being handed their babies for the first time. It really is a tear jerker. It helped to make the whole process seem a little more real for us (and those around us).

The other thing this clip has done is added another passenger to our trip. My Dad is going to come now. It has always been the one thing about the trip that has weighed heavily on our hearts; the thought of my dad not traveling with us. He was so moved by this video and was urged by my mom. He checked it out with his doctors and they all said, "If you are feeling well enough, by all means, go and have a great time!" We are all so excited. He has been so influential in this whole process. He started us thinking about adoption in the first place, did a ton of research before we started and has continued to research things along the way. He has been emotionally and financhially supportive, so the thought of him not coming with us, was really hard for us. We always knew my mom would come and were so thankful for that. She has the organization skills David and I sometimes lack. Plus we wanted an extra adult to help with Sam. Now, we will have two adults. My friends have joked that they are not sure if China is ready for us all to be there. They also think it should be funny and interesting to see us all in China. We will see. I know it will be a great trip and if it ever comes time, we will be ready.

Please watch this clip and envision us standing there being handed our daughter.
