Red Thread Return Trip

It has been 7 wonderful years since we returned from China with AiLi and became a family.  And our bonds with the families we traveled with have grown stronger and deeper with each passing year.  We knew we wanted to visit China again with our daughters and we are now on the eve of that dream becoming a reality.  Four of the six families in our original CAWLI adoption group are leaving on Saturday, April 11th for our adventure.  The girls are (in their own words) "super duper excited" about the trip.  We have an ambitious itinerary planned: Beijing, Xi-an, Chengdu, Hefei, Yellow Mountain and Shanghai as we look to expose the girls to as much of what China has to offer in a short two week window.  It will be fun and educational and in some respects bittersweet, especially our visit to the orphanage.  We thank our many family and friends who contributed to AiLi's fundraising project to buy presents for the children still living at the Huainan Social Welfare Institute.  We invite you to follow along on our journey and look forward to sharing as much of it as possible.

Due to new Chinese laws blocking most popular social media sites we'll be moving our blog to

Hopefully this won't become blocked.
