One year ago today Paige was placed in our arms and our lives have not been the same since. In some ways it seems like she has been a part of our family for years, while our time in China seems to be only a few weeks ago. We feel honored and blessed to have Paige in our lives and look forward to a lifetime together.
When Paige was placed in my arms for the first time I felt such a sense of relief and peace. Finally, we were a family! Today I hugged her tight and felt peace and love (and got a return hug). Today we celebrated as a family with Paige and I making a cake and having dinner together. We gave Paige a sock doll we had purchased in China. I also had a chance to take part in a conference call among 8 of the families we traveled with. It was wonderful to hear how all the children and adults were doing! I hope that we are able to keep in touch as the years go by as these girls are really like sisters and share a background that is special to them.
