One look at his referral picture and we were smitten. Those eyes! Those cheeks! Technically, you are supposed to look at the file before the picture. Has anyone ever done that?
One year ago, our lives changed. We still had mountains of anxiety and a long way to go. But it was the beginning of a wonderful journey to our family.
We have so much to be thankful for.
The road to adoption is incredibly hard--at least, it was for us. Yet in the end, we get to tuck this little boy into bed each night.
And introduce him to the wonders of the holidays.
Sleep can be hard. Separation is tough, as are language barriers. It's not perfect but it's perfect for us. And it's worth it--oh, boy, is it worth it.
Happy holidays from our family to yours.
