SHANNNNON!!!

I hope all is well with you, Sean and sweet, little Lizzie. I look forward to her 2nd birthday!

A close friend and his wife are interested in looking to adopt in China, and I passed on your website - a wonderful reference of personal experiences, tribulations, excitement and joy to look forward to.

You friend and fellow seagull,

Dear Liz and family,

Please allow me to introduce myself first. My name is Bei Ma. I live in Arnold, Maryland. This morning, I came cross your website by accident and I am so impressed and moved by your story! I am soooo happy for your family and your new adoption. Good luck!

You know, I am also from China and I just had a baby boy last year. His name is Philip and he is 4 month old now:-). He just started to try the rice cereal this week. Yeahhh! Daddy Jeff and I really want our baby boy have both Chinese and American community around him since Jeff is an american. But it is quite hard to find a family like that. If you have similar thoughts, maybe we two families can meet together in the near future. Here is our home phone number: 410 757 4638. I would like to send our pictures to you, too. My email address is: Bei.Ma@mt.com.

Thanks and wish you all the best!

Best regards,
Bei

Hi there. I have been keeping up with your website for some time now. I kinda just ran across it when doing some research on adoptions. I have been touched with your family and your stories. I was wondering if you had any advice for my husband and I, we are looking into adopting from China. We would love to hear any advice you may have. We are looking into Bethany adoption agency here in our home state of Wisconsin. Thanks for any advice or thoughts. Megan JimandMeganP@aol.com

Hi, I came across your story on line one night and have been following it ever since. My hubby and I have been ttc# for a little over a year, we are doing fertility treatments now. Your story has inspired me and my hubby to really consider adoption. We are thinking of adopting either here in Wisconsin or from Poland (hubby is from there) But I want to thank you for your story and your inspiration to us. I will be praying for you and your family. Please remember us in your prayers too. Thank you again for your story...
-Meg

We have really enjoyed watching your adoption on the website! Thank you for sharing it with us. We also live in Maryland, in Baltimore and will go to China to adopt our little girl sometime in the Fall. We have 2 biological children as well. They are 5 and 9 and are very excited. I think we are going to do a website also. It is a great idea. Enjoy your little girl! She is precious!
