"Every experience God gives us, every person He puts in our lives is the perfect preperation that only He can see" Corrie Ten Boom

I love that the people adopting from China has the red thread and the lady bug as a sort of symbol. It unites then somehow and they have a visable image of their journey.

"An invisible red thread connects those destined to meet, regarless of time, place or circumbstance. The thread may stretch or tangle but never breaks" A Chinese proverb

The lady bug has no background in Chinese culture or history. A few years ago when many people were adopting from China there was a fall when the ladybug population grew unsually large. This was thought ot be a luck charm to those who were adopting,so now when lady bugs are seen, it is said that more beautiful chinese babies are being adopted. Is it like "whenever a bell rings an agel gets it's wings"?

Still, all the adopted parents need some sort of symbol, button, ribbon or something.......I'll think about that one......
