What's lumpia and dim sum?

This is my very first post. To tell you the truth, I'm feeling a bit flipped-out about putting my thoughts out here in cyber-space....but I'm diving in, head first. Here you go....

"Lumpia and Dim Sum" is a metaphor. Rick and I are "Lumpia" -- a Filipino dish, most popularly served at parties, family gatherings, or whenever. It's crunchy, delectable, and a favorite with just about everybody, especially the kiddies. "Dim Sum" (Again, another food reference... and for those of you who know us personally, you understand...) is generally enjoyed at a family meal/special occasion) and refers to our future son or daughter in China, who we will meet someday "soon" (slight sarcasm re: "soon". Heh.). Anyway, I won't go into details in this first post about how our decision to adopt abroad came about - just know that our desire to become parents is strong and although the wait has been a loooong one, we believe that when the day comes, it'll be worth it.
