One year ago...

One year ago (yesterday) I received my 'referral' from China - in other words, I was told that I had been matched with a child and given her picture...in essence it was the first meeting of my Emma LuMai. That was such a sweet day, full of tears and anticipation. I fell in love with Emma immediately, but had no idea how that love could just keep growing and growing. What an amazing year it has been and I know that it will just keep getting better.
