This one's for you, Sam!!
Knowing that our web adoption journal was about to expire, I had been wrestling about whether to continue sharing our experiences with the online community or to slip quietly into our little family life and file the adoption journal away as a keepsake for Naomi - which was my intent from the beginning.
What I did not realize then, was how many lives would be touched by our journey to bring our daughter, Naomi Cai Heng, home from China. My anticpated "audience" was to be only our family and a few close friends - a tool we could all use to communicate while we were in China. I've since learned that many others have viewed our journal and that waiting families have found encouragement and comfort there.
It is my "waiting" friend, Samantha, who is the primary catalyst for this new blog. Believe me, I know the comfort of seeing pictures of a friend's child who is already home from China. Pictures of my friend Adele's daughter, Mallory, were always a bright part of even the darkest days of waiting. My Uncle Billy was also instrumental in my decision. He reminded me that the internet is a good way to share events and pictures with family, both near and far.
Welcome to Naomi's Niche!!

Welcome to the world of blogging. It is so much fun! I love that sweet picture of Naomi. She is adorable. See you Saturday at the picnic! Let's pray for pretty weather.
Love you,
Adele
I am real glad you did this Sandra. It will give us all a chance to keep up with Naomi and her parents. By the way, the strawberry pie is scrumptious. I am rationing it to myself so it won't be gone too soon. Love ya'll, uncle Billy
