One year ago today....

we got the first glimpse of our sweet son.

One year ago today I was sitting in Florida when Adam called to tell me we had a referral! Oh, I would have to wait two more nights to celebrate with my family, but I was still so happy!

What a year it has been. Eight months would pass before we would finally get to hold our Wei-Che, our Samuel, our son. Long months of watching him grow. Months filled with the hopes and dreams of his coming into our family. He was half way around the world...so very far from us.

One year ago today this was the first photograph I saw...

And I fell in love! If I had only known how much deeper I would fall for this wonderful and amazing little guy...

Happy Referral day!

Both your kids are absolutely precious! I can't help but smile when I see Samuel. What a face! He just draws me in. See you at kindergarten pick up!

I remember this like it was yesterday but am SO thankful that he's home now, tucked into your loving and amazing family!!

I remember your email of joy both to the board and in my inbox and I recall jumping up & down with glee, in celebration of your incredible news!

He was and is a beautiful boy!!
