Three years ago today, a baby girl waited on the other side of the world for her family. A baby that only knew of a room with cribs, limited toys and aunties that loved her, but unable to provide the one thing she really needed. A family. The other children in her room at the orphanage were her sisters and brothers - the only family she knew. But they too were waiting. Something wonderful was about to happen to nine of these precious children and one child from a different orphanage.
Three years ago today we were boarding a plane with several other families, starting a jouney that would lead us to our daughters. The morning started very early at the GSP airport, transferring in Chicago and meeting up with more families. We finally arrived the next day in Bejing Airport, tired, but excited to complete our families (or so we thought). Reflecting back ....
Clock @ GSP - 5:30 am to check-in meant we left the house in Hville @ 4 am.
