It sometimes makes me sad that I don't have baby pictures of some of my kids. At the same time we are very lucky to have as many pictures as we do. We have none of Mia before the age of 1 but the orphanage took a lot when she was 1 1/2 and moved there and we love having them. We have Max from his hospital pictures on. We have so many of him and treasure them all. Meilin was abandoned at the age of one but after that we have seen a lot pictures of her. Molly was abandoned around the age of 6 so we have nothing before that but a lot after! Many if not most orphans are thrown in orphanages and people are lucky to have one picture total. Though we don't have baby pictures of several of them I am beyond thankful for what we have. All of our adopted children were in wonderful places when we brought them home. They all knew what it meant to be loved. They may have had hard lives before that, some very hard, but they knew true love when we got them or will get them.
Meilin was probably around 1 here and so adorable. I have a feeling Molly's baby pictures would look a lot like hers!
Molly has grown up so much from the first pictures we have of her! Such and adorable girl that is growing into a beautiful young lady!!!
I just can't get over how blessed we are. These girls are so beautiful inside and out and will touch many more lives when they come home!
