Gosh, I am such a whiner! Estate work has been calling and I spent 4 hours yesterday and my entire morning today doing it. Maybe I don't have the temperment to be my own general contractor on the house renovation.

Love & Imagination!

I write to understand what it takes for a girl from China to become part of an American family. Julia was adopted in August of 2006 when she was 5.5 years old. Although she survived life in an orphanage, her maturity was that of a toddler when we met. Her American learning curve has been steep, from obeying her adults, to learning to make art, to identifying & controlling her fear & anger. This last year Julia learned to read. Julia began four grade in September of 2011, although academically she is more than a 2 years behind her peers. Despite her many challenges (which have names like PDD-NOS, ADHD, & attachment disorder), Julia came to our family ready to love and to imagine. Love & imagination have seen us through five years together.
