Balloon fiesta party in Sussex

The Murray's were nice enough to open up their home this weekend for a get together of families who have adopted from China. There were probably 15 families there and lots of little girls running around. We met alot of people who have adopted, some twice, and it's interesting to hear their stories. Some of them bonded instantly, some took time, some children cried constantly, some were quite quiet. Some people travelled in very humid conditions, some travelled in snow. Some people loved the food, some hated it, some had great bathroom experiences, some didnt. Hopefully in a year or so we'll have our own stories to tell. I think we were the only ones there who have not adopted yet.

This was the weekend that Sussex has their annual hot air ballloon celebrations and usually the balloons fly right over their house, but the weather was not quite favorable so they didnt lift off.

Thanks everyone for being so friendly and we'll see you all at the next event.
