One year ago yesterday

One year ago yesterday, we received the bad news that the little girl in Guatemala that we were in the process of adopting was no longer available. Later that day, on Feb. 4, 2008 we received a referral of a baby girl in Russia. She was 11 months old, and she was tiny. One year ago today, we contacted our adoption agency and accepted the referral. It was a very rough ride. We are so glad we accepted the referral and are now the proud parents of this beautiful little girl.
