It was January of 2006 that Jeannette and I stumbled across a little girl on a website for families adopting from China. She caught our eye because her name was Melody and, as we read more, we figured out that her parents were adopting through AWAA also and traveling to China at the same time as we were. Naturally, in the age of the Internet and e-mail, we immediately got in touch with Sarah and Jose, who live in Indiana, and began to compare notes.As we near the first anniversary of our respective "Gotcha Days" (as much as I hate that phrase, I'm afraid I've been assimilated), today Sarah posted a video that they had made of their journey to get Melody. I took an early lunch today in order to watch it and all I can say is "Wow." I've watched a lot of China adoption videos over the last two and a half years and this one might be the most beautiful. If you have 20 minutes to spare and a high speed connection, go to http://www.rusongfilms.com/Melody and check it out. Keep a Kleenex handy.

Nicely done video. I recognized Sarah right away, as well as Paul & Beth, Andrew & Stephanie and Jennifer & Kevin. Good music.
Hey Palmer,
Speaking of adoption video...I thought you might want to see Jenna's. Straight from the Film Festival...here it is!

Thanks, Eric. Actually, you must be famous . . . I think I had three different sources tell me we had to check out your video. I'm trying to figure out how to post it here on my blog. Good job!
