Love is an action word: A 6-foot-wide wooden fan from China spans a wall in the Slaight family's foyer. Janet Slaight's brother gave it to her last month. He brought it back from one of his trips to the Orient, but the fan seemed to belong in his sister's home. After all, the Slaights are in the process of adopting a baby from China.

He and his wife will leave Friday morning for Guang Hzou, China, to pick up their new daughter, Allison Li Jianping, and to complete her adoption.
