One Year

I just noticed that we sent our adoption application in one year ago tomorrow!  I had so many fears back then that we wouldn't be approved, that we would get turned down because we don't make enough money, or already had too many kids.  I was already so invested in this, it was as if I was searching for my own lost daughter.  And indeed I was.  At last we have found her!  Here she is, our Jada!

Oh little girl, I long to squeeze you and kiss those little cheeks!  You are perfectly beautiful!  I can't wait til we can come meet you and bring you home.
