In october we had to do a weekend of adopt talk meetings with The Children's Bridge. We did our thing all weekend and met some wonderful families and became friends with them. On the sunday afternoon, they had a family come to chat to us who had adopted within the Special Needs program and who had just returned home in July with their little girl. We chatted and got information, Jan (the mom) collected our email addresses and said she would forward her packing list and the name of the baby carrier that they used while in China. After, we left and came home. Shortly after we received an email from Jan saying that Maelyn was having her palate repaired within the next few days and felt she should forward the information she promised. Thru out the next few months, Jan and I was emailing back and forth. She invited Jason and I to their home in Newmarket for dinner. Jason and I was thrilled. The saturday finally came and it was stormy here, and there , so we chose to stay home. Being very disappointed Jason and I patiently waited for the 29 to come ..our rescheduled visit. Yesterday we woke , soooo excited to see Jan , Paul and Maelyn. Again it was snowing here but Jason said "I think we'll be alright, Let's go." We did and by 2:30 pm there was nothing happening weather wise. Yahoooo! We arrived to Jan and Paul's shortly after 4:30. While standing outside the door, we could hear Maelyn running to the door. Super cute.
We had brought gifts for Maelyn and for Paul and Jan. Maelyn was so excited to have presents. She is adorable. We chatted, looked @ pictures , watched the video of their forever family day and items they had bought and brought home from China. We had a wonderful time and can't wait to see them again.
Thanks Jan and Paul
