When families return from China, I often request them to write about their China adoption experience, and share it with other families in the process. The following is one of them that I received most recently. Lynn and John has offered valuable advices based on their experiences with Gladney. We are going to add it to our Gladney China Blog in three posts, with each on a specific subject. - Gongzhan

Dear Gladney Families,

My husband John and I recently returned from China with Samantha Jade, from Changsha, Hunan Province, born on 5/4/05. Our journey took almost two years from our first Gladney meeting til the day we brought our daughter home. We never thought we could survive the months of paperwork, waiting for the referral, then travel dates. But of course we did, thanks to the expert care of Andrea Yonai, Gongzhan Wu and everyone in the NY Gladney office. We cannot thank them enough and add special thanks to our Chinese guides- Jennifer in Beijing, Ashley in Changsha, and Sampson in Guangzhou. (to be continued)
