Three years ago today we met our beautiful 22 month old bundle of joy, Grace. She changed our lives and touched our hearts from the first moment. Just a glimpse back to that day. It brings back so many emotions. My heart was forever changed.
The first moment I laid my eyes on her, the orphanage worker was bringing her through the door.
She wore herself out, bless her we waited for her for 4 years, but she didn't know us at all and was so scared.
But I held her tight and loved her through the tears. When she woke in my arms she was miraculously a little girl full of smiles and laughs and was pure joy. Transformation occurs and peace reigned just through being wrapped in the love of her mommy. God is so good.
She is legally ours!
All the little ones in our travel group.
Grace and her new cousin, Lily then
Grace and her cousin now...melt my heart. What a gift. These two adore each other. A bond no one will ever separate. They began their journey together in the same orphanage in China, separated and sent to two separate foster care homes in different cities, reunited forever!
Our Grace now!
Graduating preschool, and about to start Kindergarten!
And dancing in her first ballet recital
We are blessed. We love you Grace. Happy Gotcha Day!
