    Follow the adventures of Ray and Nancy as they go to China to adopt their son, Kai. ; We wish them the very best of health, luck, and safety as they travel halfway across the world to bring home their little boy (and my nephew #2). ; You can follow their adventure at:

    And through it all, Ray is getting some good shots of a place many of us many never visit personally. ; They should soon be meeting with Kai as it's already Monday there.

    And there are probably many other pictures that didn't make the blog. All those pics are straight out of the camera with a little vivid action by Nikon going on.

    I have all the RAWs so maybe I can work some post-production magic to make a few more pop. ; The light is either very shadowy or very bright so it make it hard sometimes

    While Tim and I don't share a genetic link we see each other as family. ; He and Karen have been most supportive of entire emotional journey to start a family as well as many of the members on TMIP
