Red Rose, Growing

WELCOME TO CHOPSTIX

We are finally on our way to bring our new daughter home. We want to invite you to share our journey with us, as we take the longest and final step to our daughter - our trip to China. We would love to be able to take all of our friends and loved ones with us, but we know this is not possible, so we have created this website that you may track our journey every step of the way! We are so excited about being able to share this experience as it unfolds, and hope that you are just as excited!

We will do our best to post messages and photos every step of the way, though we know things will get really interesting after we pick up Alyssa Choel. Please remember to keep us in your prayers. May God bless each of you! Enjoy...
