Journey with Haiyang: August 2009
http://addingonemorestein.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Surviving our little sister. Monday, August 31, 2009. This is just a test to see if I can post to blogger from PRC. We received word that HaiYang has been moved to her original orphanage to prepare for adoption. This can only mean that our travel approval is out there somewhere. I am hoping it will arrive today or at least sometime this week. The 1st week of October is a Chinese Holiday so it would be best if we could travel in September. Tuesday, August 18, 2009.

Surviving our little sister. Thursday, September 24, 2009. This is the 1st glimpse we had of HaiYang.

Journey with Haiyang: November 2009
http://addingonemorestein.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Surviving our little sister. Tuesday, November 24, 2009. The tantrums are much less, I think now that we are communicating better she is less frustrated, and she is also realizing that as strong willed as she is, I can be more. If I say no, I mean it! All in all things are going well most of the time. I will be honest, this it is much harder than I expected yet it seems to get a little easier every day. We wish you all a wonderful Thanksgiving!

http://addingonemorestein.blogspot.com/2010/02/happy-chinese-new-year.html
Surviving our little sister. Monday, February 22, 2010. Happy Chinese New Year! Wow I just realized that I haven't taken any time to give an update on HaiYang. Here is a brief update along with some recent photos. We completed all of the necessary "coming home" medicals, all blood tests came back fine, and both tests done on her heart looked good, no restrictions on activities and no need to go back until she is 7! Who knows, I only hope she outgrows it. I assumed she swallowed it, well after a bit of ba...
