In China again :)

We are in Yinchuan China adopting our youngest son. This is our fourth adoption and 8th child so you would think we'd have it all figured out. In fact many things make it feel like the first time. First we are in the north of China and our girls are from the Southern part of China. We are also adopting a little boy for the first time. He is three and full of energy and spunk and mischief . He looks at us and laughs when we discipline him and goes and goes and goes all day. At night time is the only grieving we see. Loud painful screams and cries for his "MaMa". We are learning how to be a family once again. I love him but he tolerates me. I plan for his future and he worries about the present. Food is very important to him and less to us. We are different yet the same. He needs a family and we need a son. Together we will learn to weave a safe haven for all of us. Together we will find a new normal.
