I am thrilled and honored to design this plaque for Katie Joy, a beautiful little girl from China who will soon be coming home to her mommy, daddy, big brothers and sister. There are a number of traditions associated with Chinese adoption.Two of these traditions are the ladybug and the red thread. Ladybugs Ladybugs are believed to be good luck in the adoption community. Several years ago, while numerous people waited for their referrals, there was a huge infiltration of ladybugs across the nation. Immediately following the ladybug sightings, a flood of referrals came in for many of the waiting parents. Many people now believe that when a ladybug is seen, a referral is not far behind. The red thread An invisible red thread connects those who are destined to meet, regardless of time, place, or circumstance. The thread may stretch or tangle, but will never break. Many in the adoption community believe this to be an ancient Chinese legend, and that is partially correct. The actual Chinese tradition posits that people who become husband and wife do so because the gods tie an invisible red string around their ankles at birth, and that this red thread will eventually bring the two together. Thank you Amy Brady, for allowing me a small part in Katie Joys coming home.
