We are headed to China! (*updated - we are back now...)

we leave in a few hours for a
LONG (36 hour) journey to China
to finally get our Daughter, Naomi.
(link to original thread in case you
have no idea what I am talking about.)


While we are there, please check out
our site from the 18th to the 29th
for daily journal updates and photos
from China!!
www.ourchinaadoption.com/home_cornett.html

The photos of Naomi there now
are from when she was 8-9 months
old, and now she is 26 months old
so it will be intresting to see how much
different she will look when we finally
meet her!!

Thanks again for all the emails and PMs
we have gotten. I appreciate them all.

Take care.

    Hi Jeff
    I wish you all the best!

    More scans when you come back!

    I know you're busy with everything but don't be such a stranger! CU is not the same without you and JS isn't posting as much as used to either!

    Come back soon!

  • My daughter Naomi is settling in pretty well.
    She and my son Eli get along great.

    Since my wife is at home with them
    full-time now, I am working harder than ever
    but they have all day together to laugh
    and play. It works out well.

    Naomi has her heart surgery in two
    weeks, but it is hard to believe that she
    even needs it, as active as she is!
    I hate to think how much energy she will
    have when she has her heart fixed!
