About Me

My photo
Leah Mei
South Florida, Florida, United States
My name is Daisy and Leah Mei is our youngest daughter who we adopted from China in 2008. My husband and I have been married for 35 years and adoption has been in my heart longer than that. This blog was created in order for family and friends to follow our journey to China, but we have decided to keep it in order to record our daily lives as a family of 7, this includes 2 fur babies, Buffy and Brandy. Life is hectic, buts lots of fun with 2 grown kids, a teenager and 2 grandbabies. I love life, journaling and most of all being a mom. I own a child care center that caters to needy families and special needs children. Things can get kind of crazy from time to time but I love every minute of it!
