It's probably time I explained this blog name, given the fact that our dear Alex, who joined his forever family last October, is our fifth child and thus the seventh member of our family....
When we decided to expand our family through international adoption, we jumped in with both feet. We figured if we're in for one, what's one more? So Alex will someday have a mei mei from China. We were logged in last June and are patiently waiting for China to work through the huge number of applications they received at the end of 2005. There are currently 7 months of families ahead of us in this long, slow moving, line. If we're lucky we only have another year to wait. If we're really lucky, I might be able to say we're half way there: 10 months down, 10 more to go.
And that's how this blog got it's name. Alex's mei mei is lucky number 8.
