Hi Yulin families,

I'm trying to get an idea of the families going with us to Yulin. From the active folks on this board and the July DTC board, I've come up with the following:

Gerry & Laura S., Lin Qian Yue, Kaitlin QianYue, 4-20-04
Mike & Debbie S., Lin Qian Yin, Jade Lin, 3-17-04
Bruce & Lisa S., Lin Qian Rou, Janessa RouLin, 4-1-04
Dave & Jill M., Lin Qian Le, Evelyn Le, 4-18-04
(What a beautiful set of names we've chosen!!!!!)

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHO THE OTHERS ARE?

This morning, I went to the July DTC board to get familiar with your baby's faces and to see photos of you (if posted). I've posted some photos of Dave and me in the Miklosovic folder (July DTC board) so you guys can get to know us a little. I'm starting to get really excited about our travel, which we will find out about VERY SOON I hope! Meanwhile, I have a baby's room to finish for our first daughter!, not to mention a thousand little things that I'm hoping will keep me distracted until it's time to go!

Jill,

Thanks for getting the list started. I think there are 10 of us with girls from Yulin. I have also heard that once we have our TAs a list will be mailed with all the families names. I am going crazy thinking we may have to wait until CNY to get our TAs. I WANT THEM NOW!!!

Hi Jill,
Thank you so much for putting together this list. I also wanted to Thank you for mentioning Joely's birthday and for wishing her a Happy Birthday! I am having a hard time today... Today is 4 weeks since our referral, and no information regarding our travel. Knowing that I won't be with Joely on her 1st birthday is bothering me... and not knowing when I will be with her is even harder. Seeing your acknowledgment of Joely's birthday did bring a tear to my eye and a smile.. which I very much needed. Thank you!
