Happy Referal-versary!

4 February 2010 One Comment

Two years ago today we received our referral for Catherine.  What an amazing ride this has been.  It’s so hard to believe that it was years ago and not months ago.  It seems like yesterday we got these two cute little photos of her.  The first thing that I noticed was her hair.  She has soooooo much of it!  And I love it because I have so much hair too.  We were just so excited to finally see her photos and read her reports.  From the moment we received her pictures to the moment we left for China, to the moment we walked through the orphanage doors and took her in our arms all seemed magical.  Where does the time go?

I’m so thankful for God for blessing us with her.  She is amazing and a perfect fit for our family.  And I today, like so many other days, I think about her parents and tell them that we are taking good care of her and that we hope one day she will get to meet them face to face.  And today, I am thankful for her.

    Love those photos! Our poor little one was bald! I was hoping for a “Don King” hair baby but it wasn’t to be. Poor baby still has really fine hair (which is standing out all over her head right now due to the static ele from all the snow/cold air).

    Happy anniversary to all of you!
