One year ago today, a sickly, scared 18 month old was placed in my arms in a crowded, loud room in far away country. I had dreamed of this moment for years and felt so blessed that the Lord had called us to be this little girl's Forever Family.Today, we celebrate this day, as do many adoptive families, to remember the moment our lives changed forever and Joy became a part of our family. She has grown so much over the last few months and is a healthy and vibrant 2 year old in every way. We have had our issues since coming home, as most adoptive families, but we praise God that Joy is attaching along with Mom and Dad. We have discovered this process is a give and take for all of us and that each baby step is a move forward. Watching her over this year has been like watching a flower grow and bloom. Each day she shows us another hidden aspect of her personality. So far, we have discovered she is smart, stubborn, silly and above all a loving child.
Today, we PRAISE and THANK GOD for our precious little Joy Elizabeth Yuhui ! We Gotcha girl and we aren't ever letting you go!
