Thoughts for Today (Guangzhou Day 10 of our trip)

When we first started to seriously consider adoption, I admit, I had some doubts.  My husband shared the following quote with me:
He wrote it down on a piece of paper and I still have it hanging right inside my closet at home.

I read that over and over and over each day and thought about opening up my heart to adoption. I needed that to help me make one of the best decisions of my life.

I found out why I was born last week on January 25, 2016:  To be Lily Grace's mommy and for her to be my daughter!  

I am absolutely in love with her and it just keeps growing each day.  I love the times she is awake and learning but there's just something really wonderful about a sleeping baby as well.  Enjoy!
First night with us

  4. Our God is awesome. It's so cool how things work out and when we finally figure out why we are here. It happened to me too with Tyler. I just couldn't figure out why I was here then he came along and everything else made sense. Enjoy that sweet baby. Can't wait to meet her.
