Meeting Hannah Ruth

We realized very soon after we decided to adopt from China that we are drawn to adoption stories, and we love talking to and reading about other couples who have traveled down this path. We have a good friend at church who was attending her class reunion, and one of her classmates was also coming in for the weekend to attend the reunion.  Their baby-sitter fell through for their weekend getaway, and we're so glad! We had a nice visit with the Culps, and their daughter, Hannah Ruth.  Lori and her husband were a wealth of information for our inquisitive minds, and they were so encouraging.  Hannah Ruth spent time watching Savy's softball game, and playing with Brin.  Hannah Ruth loves taking dance lessons, but she LOVED watching Savy's softball game.  She taught Brin and Savy how to say a few words in Chinese, and they showed her how they could say "Happy New Year" in Chinese (they both learned this in their kindergarten class).
