Travel to China to Bring Home Noelle Chunhan

Follow the links to see photos from the day -- these photos were posted from China (for the most part :-))

For Christmas 2004, I made my Mom and Dad (who traveled with me) a video of Bringing Noelle Home. It has some overlap with the photos below, but is not entirely the same.

Noelle and the referral Information on Noelle Chunhan that I recieved when I got her referral on April 30th and in the days after.
