2 Years Ago Today...

...I saw a picture of Eliza for the first time. It feels a bit weird to look at this picture and realize there was a time when we weren't together. There is this little (yet very significant) slice of her history that I'm not a part of. Without a doubt, she is mine and I am hers. It's all quite the miracle...sometimes I still have to pinch myself. September 26, 2006 was, by far, one of the most memorable, exciting days of my life! Like I've said before, this was the day I was able to put a face to my dreams!!!

It really is a miracle. It seems that each baby is matched with the family that is perfect for them. Eliza has blossomed into a beautiful child and you are both so lucky to have each other!

What a great day! Boy, she still looks the same as that picture-I would have picked her out for sure. You can't see either of my kids in their referral pics.

I just swallowed hard. I am just around the corner from that 'knowing the face' and I am out of my mind.

I can hardly believe it has been 2 years!

Oh how sweet. I remember seeing that picture and thinking how beautiful is that child. I was proven right by the sweet little girl she is becoming. I'm so happy for the both of you having found your home with each other. With wishes for happiness the rest of your lives.. Linda

Congratulations. You're raising a beautfiul, smart, amazing daughter.

I can hardly believe it's been 2 yrs! I remember watching your referral and the trip to China to bring her home. Thanks for allowing me the chance to watch her grow and to learn from your experiences.

I have just been looking over your blog. Can you believe we were getting ready to leave 2 years ago? We were so excited and would talk almost daily. It was so good to have you to share all of that with.
