In September of 2005, our Dossier was sent off from our agency http://www.dillionadopt.org/ along with the Dossier's of several other families. This instantly became our "travel group"...the ones we would receive referrals with and the ones we would travel with to China. While some families lived in the vicinity of Dillon and were able to meet each other, others of us did not. Immediately we all began communicating via a Yahoo group and emails...getting to know one another and anxiously anticipating our travel in a few, short months. Well, it turned out that we did not all travel together so we were not able to meet anyone in person. Last night, we were able to meet 2 of these families! One family was driving through town and they were able to stay the night with us. Their daughter is just a few weeks older than CaraBeth. Once they warmed up to each other, they had a ball! They played so well and loved to do the same things. They sang, danced, dressed up, "cooked", went "shopping", and had dinner together. Above are a couple of pictures of them together. We can't wait til they meet again! The other family was with us here for dinner also. They returned from China just a few weeks ago and their daughter is not quite a year old. I got a few sweet pictures of her but didn't ask her parents (yet) if I could include those on this blog. We are excited that this family lives closer by and that we might be able to meet up with them again soon!
