Gotcha Day for Mia....2011

 
This is the picture that started it all.  We had started the process to adopt a little girl between the ages of 3-5.  We kept seeing children but kept wondering when how we would chose.  Someone told me when you see your child you will know.  Then one day Larry was home from work and our SW sent us an email.  There was a little girl that was going to get listed.  She thought we would want to see her.  We opened the picture and there she was!  We knew instantly she was ours.  I burst into tears, there was no doubt!  The funny thing is she just turned 1 so much younger than we had planned, yet she was ours, no doubt about it!
A year later we were preparing to walk through these doors and bring her home forever!
 


From this day forward she was Mia Sze-man and this crib would be filled with another waiting child.
Yesterday I posted how scared we were when we met her.  This is a picture of the exact moment we knew everything was going to be ok.  This was day two and Gotcha day.  We were playing on the swing with her and saw her smile for the first time. Our hearts melted and we were done.  This baby girl was ours and it was going to be ok!

Leaving Mother's Choice forever, no longer an orphan!!!
We loved Mother's Choice and are so greatful for the care and love they gave Mia while she was there!


Mia's favorite thing to do then and now is to snuggle.  She is the most cuddly child ever!



So thankful we took that leap of Faith 4 years ago.  We are incredibly blessed by this little girl!
