Why Hari? . . . Because Hari is the nick name that we used to talk about our second child who has been in our hearts and dreams for a very long time.

I recently stumbled across your blog and have been reading your amazing journey to precious Julia. We are in the adoption process right now. I was wondering if you have ever heard of this website: http://www.attach-china.org/. It was started by a mom who adopted from China and perhaps you can find info that will help precious Julia adjust to her new life here.
