"An invisible red thread connects those who are destined to meet, regardless of time, place, or circumstance. The thread may stretch or tangle, but never break."
This time-honored Chinese legend underscores the belief that when a child is born invisible red threads connect that child's soul to all those people - present and in the future - who will play a part in that child's life. As each birthday passes, those threads shorten and tighten, bringing closer those people who are fated to be together.
The China Adoption community has taken this legend to heart, and has embraced the tradition of the red thread bracelet as a means of connecting with the children who wait to be united with their new families. Moms-to-be (and Dads!) generally wear their bracelets from the time they begin the paperchase to the day they meet their new daughter or son.
And now you can meld two traditions together with one wonderful bracelet! This Kaballah-style red thread bracelet is the same worn by celebrites. Traditionally worn on the left wrist, it's designed to bring its wearer good luck and protection from harm. And when you're paperchasing and getting ready to travel - a little extra luck is always welcome.

Roberta's Note: As adoption is a process, a transition from here to there on the way to a "destination" known as your new family, so too the red thread in your bracelet isn't permanent. It's not meant to be. Over time, depending on your own usage, the red thread will begin to fray. Don't pull the remaining thread out, don't force the process to move faster than it needs to. When the time is right, the thread will slip away as in a whisper.
It hasn't disappeared. Your physical red thread has become your invisible red thread and is now tied heart to heart, yours to your new daughter or son. The silver chain and charm your reminder of your journey to parenthood.
