Congratulations! Brings tears to my eyes, as I remember bringing my first child home (also adopted as a newborn) on October 4th! He's now 14 years old. :) Your daughter is gorgeous! Best wishes for a wonderful every day together!
Posted by: Kim Ketusky | October 18, 2010 at 06:19 AM
Awwwh. Now THIS is something truly miraculous. Thank you for sharing your most special moment with us. It reminds me so much of our moment 9 years ago when our oldest daughter (now 9) was born to her birth mom and we were able to be right there and experience the moment as brand new parents. God is so good. Sometimes through the roller coaster and pain of searching and yearning for our children we forget how good he truly is and how MUCH he loves us. God is glorified through this and your sweet baby girl is an amazing gift from him!
