Allison was re-adopted in the State of California

We re-adopted Allison in the State of California on November 9, 2007 at the Superior Court of Contra Costa County. This concluded the entire adoption process. We can't believe it has been 21 months since we first started our adoption paperwork. This past 21-month has been an amazing journey. We are very happy to have Allison as our loving daughter. We look forward to the wonderful journey ahead of us.

This is a picture we took with the presiding judge, Honorable David Flinn.

Emma, Christine and Steve's precious 20-month girl, was also re-adopted on the same date. They look so cute together.






On November 7th, we celebrated Lao-Lao's ( Grandma Lynne's) 70th birthday. Allison had a great time. She ate a big piece of the cake.



Allison sports a Cal Poly sweatshirt given by Bradford and Sharon. Hopefully, she will study hard to attend Cal Poly in the future.

Hello Grace and Michael. Congratulations, Allison is just beautiful. I also have a daughter fron Hubei Prov. and I have to say that Allison and my Katie look a lot alike. I showed Katie (almost 3) Allison's pictures and she thought it was her!

Take care,
