Chinese Proverbs

Since we have started this process we have been on a lot of adoption websites. There are a lot of blogs sites, and personal stories, and videos, and pictures of the whole process. One thing that always comes up are chinese proverbs that have significant meaning during the adoption process. We thought we would share a few.


The journey of a thousand miles starts with one step.


When a child is born invisible red threads extend from the child's spirit and connect to all the significant people who will be part of the child's life. As the child grows, the threads shorten, drawing closer those people who are destined to be together.

It's funny how when you start this process things have more meaning than they used to. You are more aware of your surroundings and the people in those surroundings. We were out shopping on Saturday and the people ahead of us were a little Asian girl probably 3-4 years old and a father(American). We looked at eachother and smiled and laughed.
