A group of people from different countries across the world found that they had something precious in common. Each couple, individual, or family had spent months, in some cases years, preparing a stack of papers, a dossier, to send to China working with CCAI - Chinese Children Adoption International.

In March/April 2005 each found their stack of papers ready. Off dossiers went. Flying from wherever they were to Beijing, China. At the heart of each these dossiers - a letter of request. A request from the hearts of individuals, to the heart of a nation. "We would be honored," many of us wrote, "blessed, to adopt a child from your wonderful China." A daughter, a son, or maybe twins, to love, to raise, and without hesitation, hold tight to our hearts forever.

As each of us now wait for our families to grow we've found that our circle of friendships have already grown in the process. We share our wait, our fears, our advice and our dreams. We've already shared many, many laughs and tears. Each of our homes is now an annex to many homes across the world.

Many of us met in a Yahoo Group (marchapril2005dtcccai) where we dubbed ourselves, "Love Blossoms." This site is intended as a place for us to continue to share, now as we wait, and later as we parent our children, together, across the miles.
