• Hi There!

    Hi, my name is Jonni and I am Mommy to Sofia (5 years old) and Samantha (6 years old) and wife to John. We reside in upstate NY. Our daughters are 5 mos. apart in age and a whole lot of fun. Sofia is from Jinchang City, Gansu and she turned 11 mos. during our trip to bring her home from China in 2007. Samantha is 5 mos. older but was our 2nd adoption. She was 3 years, 4 mos. when we brought her home from China in 2009. She is from Yangzhou City, Jiangsu.

    I love blogging about our girls, photography, fonts, printables & crafts and I also have a slightly obsessive John Mayer addiction. Thank you for stopping by. :)

My Heart Beats In China - Hello,
This is one of the most exciting and beautiful ceremonies I’ve seen! It’s actually funny that I wondered onto your site, because today we received our daughter’s birth certificate too! We didn’t have to re-adopt here in NJ, but it was just as exciting to get that document.

Congratulations on NY’s future tax payer and your upcoming 2nd adoption!

Happy Thanksgiving.
