     Man, I know my mom and friends told me time would fly but I can hardly believe our little girl was born a month ago. It seems like yesterday in a way yet it also seems like I've already forgotten what life was like without her...well except for what it was like to sleep in, that will still take some getting used to lol.

     When I look at her hospital picture it looks like a different child. Now I know those pics hardly look at all like the child really does, but her's turned out so good. I swear I can't keep up, every day she gets a little bigger and changes so much it seems. I can't wait to see what she looks like and who she will turn out to be. Don't get me wrong, I'm not rushing her by any means. I want her stay that little baby that curls up on my chest when she is ready to go to sleep. The one that grabs my fingers and holds on tight when she is being fed or when I'm playing with her.

     I think back over the journey and the long years it took for us to bring her home. Eight years we went through trying to start a family. Almost a year of it was trying to adopt overseas, only to have her born by someone we already knew who chose us to adopt this perfect little angel. And she really is our little angel. If anyone is reading this and going through hard times adopting, try to keep in mind that it takes faith. Faith isn't always the easiest thing when you want something so badly.....but sometimes it's all you got. I truly believe that everything happens for a reason and in the time that it was supposed to. Now that we have our little girl here with us, I know for sure that the reason it took us 8 years, was because we had to wait for her to come to us.
