Somewhere in china is our little girl who we are destined to be with very, very soon and she is being matched with our family as she was always meant to be....



CHINESE PROVERB
An invisible red thread connects those who are destined to meet, regardless of time, place, or circumstances. The thread may stretch or tangle but will never break.
CHINESE LEGEND
There is an ancient Chinese belief which states that when a child is born that child's soul is connected to all those people present and future who will play a part of that child's life. As each birthday passes, those threads shorten and tighten bringing closer those people who are fated to be together.
