Canaday's Adoption Journey

Welcome!

December 22, 2006  Well we have had a very busy few months, see the Canaday's are home page for a full update.  We wish you all a very Merry Christmas!

Welcome to our website. We are Sean and Angela Canaday of Olive Branch MS and this website is about our adoption journey to bring our daughter home from China. We wanted a site that our family and friends can see the progress of our long yet exciting journey. 

We thought this web site would be a great place to share with our family and friends some of the things that we have learned about adoption. 

It is a long and costly process but one that will have rewards for us that we can only begin to imagine

What's new???????
