My  feelings about Wei...

The attachment that occurred when I saw her photo is truly an amazing phenomena.  I'd heard about it but wondered if it would be as people have described, but it's true -- right away, and as the past week has gone by she has felt more and more "mine". 
That first photo off the fax machine on February 23 was funny -- she looked like a little chipmunk and it made me laugh, but I thought she was cute! 

Then, when the color photos arrived the next morning I fell for her and  I've been in love ever since.  Besides, it appears she needs a mom to wipe her little chin!

Name means:  Rose

A specific type of beautiful Chinese hardy, tenacious, climbing red rose.

We don't know yet when we'll travel, probably the end of April.... so estimating "Gotcha Day" wil be May 1 it is.....(drumroll)....
