  Do They Have Salsa in China?: It's a girl, and another girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do They Have Salsa in China?: It's a girl, and another girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Click on the link above to see the original referral announcement!!! One of the 517 comments the blog announcement received really interested me...that person observed that there had only been 50 twins referred from China since international adoptions began and, since there were just recently three sets of twins referred, she had been amazed that Mary-Mia and Rod received referrels for twins, too...the fourth set in just the last few months! (Grant and I requested twins when we were adopting Darcy...but, by the time we filled out the paperwork to adopt Rayna, I didn't even THINK of asking for twins until AFTER our paperwork had already been sent off to China (too late!). But, I'm glad for my absent-mindedness...because we NEEDED to get Rayna! (Actually, I am certain that even if we had ASKED for twins, we would have still gotten Rayna...even if she had been the only NON-TWINNER in the bunch! We DID request that our second baby be from JiangXi (like Darcy) and were surprised when the referrals came and one of our acquaintances in our same city, going through the same adoption agency, received a referral for a JiangXi baby the same day we got our referral for an AnHui baby (Rayna!)...the other couple hadn't indicated a geographical preference...yet, they got the JiangXi baby instead of us! And I am SO GLAD THEY DID!!!! Just goes to show me, I usually do not know WHAT to ask for!!!)

Anyway, click on the link above and see the adorable twins that will soon be arriving home in Texas! Then, click on the link in the post beneath this one and watch a video clip of the parents calling the grandparents with the news...that is just too much fun to watch!

Pictures and stories of the day to day life of Darcy (born in LinChuan of JiangXi Province in China almost eleven years ago), of Doug (born in Kaohsiung City in Taiwan almost eight years ago), and of Rayna (born in DingYuan of AnHui Province in China four and a half years ago)...

  • Annika is my niece. She was born with bilary atresia and had to have her first major surgery at the age of 6 weeks. Just before she turned a year old, she had to have a liver transplant. Two and a half months later, she had to have a second transplant. Now, five years old, she needs a third transplant and her family's insurance is nearly maxed out so a COTA fund has been established to raise the money needed.
    (Please click on the little bear button above to donate to her COTA account or to view the raffles and other projects that are in progress to build the fund. If you have crafts, etc, that you could donate to be sold/raffled, this would also help greatly!)
