Don't Miss the Webinars!!

April Uduhiri and Pat Marcus
 

Remember when I told you about the special place Pat Marcus holds in our hearts?  Well, here she is with April Uduhiri, another person who is very special to our family.  April is the Gladney Asia program caseworker that worked with our family through out Eliana's adoption.  She is the one who sent us emails like this one sent at almost 7:00 on a Thursday evening, long after I assumed we would not hear anything that day:

Erin – your CIS approval came back from the Consulate today and the dossier is complete! It will go out tomorrow to China.

Congratulations! We’re all excited to see you move forward another step towards bringing Xing Xing home.

Anyway, these are the ladies who spoke on the recent webinars about children available through Gladney's partnership program with various orphanages in China. You can see parts 1 & 2 here. They speak about all of the kiddos you see here.

And these are also the ladies that we plan to visit with in person on Sunday! YAY!!
