Personal China adoption stories: celebrating and preserving our red thread tapestries

Personal China adoption stories celebrate and preserve our tapestries in four important ways:

. They record how our children found their forever families.

Our daughter loves to hear her personal China adoption story. She asks us to tell it to her repeatedly. She also enjoys looking at and showing off her personal scrapbook that Mommy put together using a Creating Keepsakes(tm) Scrapbook Designer Deluxe computer program. Her red thread runs brilliantly through our family tapestry. We can’t help but celebrate it.

. They confirm how much our children are wanted and loved.

Sharing our personal China adoption story with our daughter also lets her know she will always be a vital part of our family. Hopefully, she will feel and see our love every time she hears her story and looks at her scrapbook.

. They relay our experiences to others who have never experienced the miracle of adoption for themselves.

Our daughter not only enjoys looking at her scrapbook herself, but she also likes to show it to others. This sparks the story-telling all over again for our new listeners.

Many who hear about our adoption have never experienced this miracle themselves. When they look at her scrapbook and/or hear her story, they are drawn into our red thread tapestry. We can tell by the smiles and widened eyes they are inspired.

. They are a common link to other adoptive parents.

For adoptive parents, sharing our personal Chinese adoption stories is a way to link to others who have also made this journey. They become the common red threads that bind us together.
