Two years ago today we were stalking DHL . . .
two years ago today we were hovering over our phone . . .
two years ago today we were still waiting . . .
two years ago today we were wondering what it would be like to have a daughter from China . . .
two years ago we received the call . . . finally . . .
two years ago today we experienced one of the greatest moments of our lives . . .
two years ago today we were emailed the face of one of the cutest little girls ever . . .
two years ago today we celebrated the miracle of adoptive birth via the internet . . .
It has been a hard, wonderful, and surprising two years.
We've been to China and back.
We've become a family of five.
We've watched our hearts break, expand, embrace and endure.
We've fallen in love with our Katie Mei again and again and again.
Hello from the West Coast! Hard to believe how time is flying. Good to see a pic of Katie Mei!

Great to see a new picture! Katie is a CUTE as ever. We were in Morro Bay, visiting a family we traveled to China with. Had a great time!!! Wish we would have had the time to look you up! Next time.

Happy anniversary! We're approached number 2 for Maddy and number 3 for Gwen. Time sure does fly AFTER we get our babies into our arms. I wish I could slow it down -- I know you probably wish that too!

Hi, I came here from ScrapHappy. After seeing this post, I just had to comment. I loved this post - it really touched me! My parents adopted my youngest sister from China when she was 6 years old and it's been a wonderful experience. I'm eagerly awaiting my 30th birthday and the time that feels right for us to adopt. Your daughter is beautiful - well, all of them are. =) Thanks for providing other resources about adopting.
