We passed court 1 year ago

Two months after we first held our baby girl we got an email that we passed court and we were officially her parents. It's hard to believe that our court date was a year ago today. I remember waiting and waiting for the courts to open after being closed for the rainy season. I was hoping the get a court date by the end of October or beginning of November. Instead we got an email that the court date had happened and we passed!! What shock! It would be another month before we would go get her, but she was officially ours!! So exciting!!! :) 

Amazing how much this sweet little girl has changed since the first time we held her. She is still a bundle of joy, but now she's an active, independent bundle of joy. Sometimes I wish I could go back to when she was this small and just hold her, but it's so good to see her so healthy and happy now.

We're blessed.

Each family has a story

I'm always amazed about how God puts families together! We're coming up on a year of having Faith in our family. It's been an amazing journey. Extremely difficult and extremely rewarding. It's neat how adoptive families all have a different story of how God knit their family together!

This family's story is pretty touching:
