Indiana Adoption Story

New little sister
AVON, Ind. — AJ and Dawn Schneider now have one more thing to keep them busy: Lia, their new bundle of joy from China.

The Schneiders adopted their first child, Lily, from China in 2003. She was born Dec. 25, 2002, in the Hubei Province, Wuhan China.

“It’s been great working with the officials in China,” AJ said. “It can be a long and difficult wait, but it’s obviously well worth it.”

This time around, AJ traveled to China with his mother, Leslie Schneider, to meet their newest family member — Lia Jade Yangxi Schneider. She was born Nov. 18, 2005, in the Guangdong Province.
