It's a small world after all.... It's a small world...everybody sing!
OK, Seriously, A few weeks ago I ran into Mia's Pre-K3 Teacher, from last year, Mrs. Paula. Paula stopped me in the hall to tell me that she had recently been up north visiting friends. While she was visiting on Sunday morning she went to the church she had attended like 10 years ago.
While at the church she ran into some old friends who once worked in the nursery that she formerly coordinated. They began to catch up with what had been going on in their lives and they introduced Paula to their new daughter, from China. Paula talked to her and commented that she had a little girl in her class last year from China, Mia. And that Mia's parents have 4 children and had just returned from China adopting a little brother. And the mom said, "Is Mia's brother named Ty?"
So from there it was just unbelief as Paula told me the family she knows so well is Mark & Molly Cotter from Oregon.
The same Cotters that we drug around Guangzhou with us. The same Cotters that looked at me(more than once) with half trusting eyes as I put them in a cab and sent them on their way ahead of us to where ever our destination was for the day. The same Cotters that we spent 6 days in China with. The Same Cotters that we borrowed the game boy charger from more than once. And the same Cotters who adopted precious little Leah that shares the same special need as Ty does.
The world just seems to get smaller and smaller, even when you meet in China.
