Adopt Teens

It's that time of year again. Time for the Adopteen Conference. Every year our adoption agency, CCAI hosts an Adopteen Conference for children who have been adopted from China to get together with other teens like them for a weekend of fun and cultural activities.

We hosted these two amazing young ladies last year. I blogged about it HERE. They both requested us again this year and of course, we were delighted to see and host them again. We played games, laughed (we now have inside jokes) and ate lots of popcorn with M&M's.

This year we were able to visit with their families on Sunday when the conference ended. Both of these girls have sweet, fun families. I know I share the same sentiment as others who have adopted. We have been blessed to have met so many great families from growing our family through adoption.
We are hoping to get together with both Jo and Marianne's families in the near future.

Thanks Jo and Marianne!!! We had a great time!!!
