Guestbook Dear Shannon and Sean,Dad and I think of you often, wondering how things are going for you in China, so we were really pleased and excited to see the update on the website. We hope you can continue them. Your description of the market and the vendors was great. Don't forget to eat right and get enough sleep!! (Just being a mom). I was at a meeting in town on the 13th and when I announced that you had just left that day to get Lizzie, everyone broke out in applause!! (and then got teary). Everyone is so happy for you. Love to the three of you. -Dad and Mom O'Connor Shannon, know Sean and I are praying for you and your family's safe arrival home.

Love, Mary Catherine, Myles, Grace, Conan and Aidan - Mary Catherine I know the excitment that you are feeling at this time, I went through it twice, it will be such a blessed day. Her birthday will be the day that she is placed in your arms and looks at you with a special look that only an adoptive mom and dad can feel. I think her official birthday is June 25, 2005. Ginnie - Virginia Niedergesahs I remember seeing your web page in the early beginnings. I was looking through adoption.com and you caught my attention because our LID is two weeks behind you. Same thing happened this time too. I feel your wait!! I love you baby's room - it's beatiful - God Bless and Best wishes, Hang in there!!! - jackiblue1970@yahoo.com O'Connors, I feel your wait. It doesn't seem all that long ago that my husband and I were waiting and waiting and waiting...but eventually, you will go to bed and get up enough times and that referral call will come, and yes, the day will come when you step into that GORGEOUS bedroom with Eliza in your arms! You will have many days ahead where you will peak in that room and see your girl asleep and think to yourself, "Hey, there's a baby here!" - and oh, the joy! Take heart! She will soon be here! - Stephanie (a fellow Bethany adopter and mother to Megan Rose Yi, Gotcha Day 9/19/05)
