Yes, I know what you're thinking. Family reunions are lunches with people that you don't know, but are somehow oddly related to through a distant relative whose name you can't quite remember.
Well, this was very similar. We did have lunch, we didn't know anyone (except Karla) and we are all related through our collective adoption experiences. Oh, the distant relative, well He's not so distant, His name is Jesus.
We had fun at the reunion. It was great to put faces with names. Here is a picture of Karla, Aimee and Kimberly. Aimee and Carlton are our new friends. They are doing their paperwork, just like us. Karla is our social worker at Lifeline, she coordinates China adoptions. Getting to know her has been such a blessing. She has a sweet, gentle spirit and she is always ready with a word of encouragement. She is like water in the desert-so refreshing and always uplifting.
I am so thankful for her friendship. God knew she was just what I needed on this journey!
