Adoption Journey

I'd love to fly to China with my best friend to document the adoption of her baby girl!

My closest friend since high school is adopting a baby from China. I'd love to go with her to document her story, and the process of bringing her new daughter home, as well as the stories of those around her on her journey!!

What a great dream!!!

I think you should do it even if you don't win the contest. If money is the issue, maybe you could have a fundraiser or something. Just thinking about how to make it happen regardless.

This would be such an amazing, life changing project. I can't even imagine the emotion that you would capture. It would also be great memories for your friend and her new child to share in the future. Sounds like a beautiful idea! You have my vote! Good luck!!

we're adopting after we have our first kid! i'm so excited. Seeing your book may help my husband out cuz he's not AS excited about it as I am ;) Plz check out my idea on marriage!!

Adoption is kind of a touchy subject when the parents are from a different nation. Could be interesting. I'm voting for you. Feel free to return the favor and vote for my project to document issues in Zimbabwe.

good luck.
