Speaking of adoption, a year in review

There's nothing more amazing than seeing the transformation of a child that was doomed to a horrible life and probably early death.
What an experience, seeing this country that I never thought in my wildest dreams I would ever travel to.
Yes it was also hard, I don't think anyone who has done it would say it was a piece of cake. That would be a big fat lie!
I posted a bunch of videos, from in the orphanage, to just yesterday, and the transformation is amazing!
I love this first video! Partly because she was so tiny and sweet, but you can see her starting to emerge from her shell before we even got her out of her country! The first couple times we visited her, she just sat there, staring at her fingers. In this video, we get a smile, and you can see she wants daddy to keep bouncing her on his knee!



Just a few days home. Big brothers already bringing this tiny girl out of her shell!



We get laughter for the first time a few months later!



Now the beginnings of a naughty toddler. A lot more mobile, and a lot more sassy!



Last week, now a walker, and best of all, a dancer! She would not perform for the camera though, the little stink. So at the very beginning you see her dance, and then she stops. In the second video its a little better, but she still won't perform as good for the camera!
(sorry for the shakes, I had to dance to get her to dance!)





We changed the life of a child. But more importantly, she changed our life!

Its utterly amazing!!
