Hi Angela, I stumbled rather accidentally upon your blog doing a search on blogger.com. I notice that we have the same last name (which isn't all that common). My wife and I have two daughters from China and live in Pearland, Texas. I was very excited to see you are adopting as well and thought it would be fun to jot a quick note and hopefully make some contact with you guys. Here is my e-mail... wingenco@yahoo.com . Looks like you guys are on the backside of your wait. Very cool! I hate to write too much in the comments, but would like to learn more about you guys and how we are related. Look forward to hearing from you and congratulations!!
Robert
