China Makes Three: Our Daughter

Our Daughter

We are so incredibly happy today to introduce you to our daughter,

Lily Grace Wilson.

I don't believe I can put into words our true happiness in knowing everything is official and she is our daughter. A little, sweet, young girl waiting for her Mommy and Daddy to come get her. Our daughter. I love the sound of that.

Our daughter Lily...

I know what you really meant to say is Bonny's granddaughter! I am so ready for you to bring her home.

I know November 3 will always be a big day for you two to remember! Can't wait until the day you pick her up and hold her for the first time!
