Returning to China

Here's an article about a group of children adopted from China, who are back in China right now on a two week journey to learn more about their culture and heritage. The children were invited by the Chinese government to learn more about their "roots" and tour China, as well as visit the orphanages where they lived until they were adopted. My aunt is accompanying the group as photographer and is also in the process of adopting our newest cousin.. whom we hope to have home before Christmas next year! Emma & Esther will have a cousin who shares their heritage, and they'll be able to go on trips like this when they are older!
Please keep the group in your prayers as they left July 25 and will be gone for two weeks.

Yes... I do think we will one day need to meet seeing as we both live in "O" town!! Your story and following Emma's journey was such a huge inspiration to us as we were just beginning ours!!

Will be keeping your aunt and the girls who travel with her in our prayers!
