It's SYDNEY DAY!!!

A few months ago I met an amazing gal Stephanie who was adopting a little girl from China. Soon I found out this little girl was not only a little girl from China, but it was "GUK GUK". Guk Guk was one of Channing best friends in the orphanage, who she admired and slept with. Guk Guk is a little older than Channing, so I'm guessing she thought of her as her Jie Jie (big sister). Stephanie finally has her darling girl in her arms TODAY.


GUK GUK a few months ago in China

Since today is a holiday in China, Sydney was taken to the hotel where her new family was waiting for her. Stephanie said they met at the elevator and when that door opened, Sydney yelled "Mama" and ran into her Mama's arms. OMG.....how amazing!!!


Here is Syndey at the elevator!!

Doesnt she look excited & happy?


Sydney and her Mama!!!

So before Stephanie left for China, I downloaded SK*YPE onto my computer. This morning when Channing woke up we went online and Channing and Sydney got to talk to eacother over the computer. They seen eachother and heard eachother!!! Both girls were a bit shy, but the more and more they see eachother they will get back to the way they used to be. Tonight another visit is scheduled. I cannot wait to take Channing to see Syndey, hopefully in a few months!!!!

Steph....CONGRATS again!!! You are going to be a fantastic MOMMY and you have one beautiful DAUGHTER!! HUGS, HUGS, HUGS!!!

How wonderful!! Such a treat that the girls are able to see one another today and soon talk when once again they're speaking the same language. How cool to think that they used to speak Mandarin to one another and now it will be English! Oh, if it were only so easy for us old people to pick up languages!

Do they live close to you? What a precious gift their friendship is!!
