Well, I just read every word you (& Mark) have written about one of the most special days on your life! I cried, and felt your joy and excitement. I don't think it will ever dim... the memories of that moment. You will, I am sure, remember it in vivid color, when you are old and feeble. Your words captured it perfectly.
How wonderful to read all of this now since I did not have the pleasure of knowing you then. You know I am taking a break but I was thinking about you and your family and your Dad. So glad I came over here and read all of these beautiful sentiments. I love the then and now photos:) They are truly beautiful.
I will try to call and catch up with you this week. Happy Referral anniversary.
What beautiful memories to reflect back on and remember. I know you will always remember these most special days in detail forever. Myah is just lovely and what precious baby pictures. Reminds me of Faith with all that hair!:) Many blessings!
Just wanted to let you know I was thinking about you and praying for your family this morning. I LOVE the last picture of Dayton and Myah holding hands~ so touching. :)
Congratulations on this special milestone. Thank you for sharing all these sweet memories of you first learning who Myah was with us. It is a privilege and honor...
Love the pictures!! What a fun trip down memory lane. I just read all of the posts, and they each brought tears to my eyes. That was such an incredible time for all of us. I'm so glad that we had each other to share it with. We had a great time celebrating referral day with you guys yesterday!! I really feel like you guys are a part of our family. We are all so blessed by the relationships made through our girls' adoptions. What a privilege it is to be their parents. We love you guys!!!
What a beautiful post. Myah looks so little in those pictures, but her darling face is still the same. What a very special day for your family. Praying for you and your dad.
OK - Bad friend here just catching up on you!!!! These pictures are so PRECIOUS!!!! Honestly, I want to visit so you can take the pics of my girls by that lovely building! You have captured the essence of a child that has traveled a journey full of love in these photos!
I pray that Myah will always know that she was born to be your daughter! What a gift she is to you and Mark and her very special big brother!
I am a mom to two wonderful children, Dayton who is 17 and Myah who is 7, that we adopted from Hubei,China in June '06. I have been married to my high school sweetheart Mark for 19 years.
