Just a note!

I can't express enough how important and special this reunion was to me. I know that these little girls don't remember eachother, but we are parent's know that these precious little ones were in an orphanage together for 9-10 months. That is a special bond that I don't feel ever needs to be broken. They might not be best of friends in the future because of the miles between, but then again, who knows? We are going to encourage these reunions as much as possible. We are going to attempt to be at them as much as possible also. We love these girls and their families and the time that we shared and the memories and the moments just can't be taken away. Some of us live where our girls might not see anyone that looks like them and some live where there are several around, but one thing is for sure...as long as we keep coming to the reunions, they will always know that they are not alone, they are blessed beyond all measure and that they are loved tremendously! Our family is very precious to us and we don't take the responsiblity of having our bio boys lightly...but to adopt is a different story and that is something that we certainly don't take lightly. God gives us all our children..they are all blessings and we will do whatever it takes to boost their self-esteem, make them feel a part and live their lives the best way possible for themselves but for the most part, for God. We know that HE is the one that gave us these children and aren't we all SOOO thankful??
To our China beauties, you truly are beautiful, not just on the outside but the inside. You are all so smart and we are so glad that we can be just a small part of your BIG lives!
To the families, you are all doing a tremendous job with these girls. They are so well attached, they smile often, laugh alot and are just perfect!!!
To the families that didn't get a chance to come...we missed you so much. I pray that we can all attend the rest of the reunions...we need to see eachother atleast once a year!

We had a blast this summer...so, until next year in Washington, DC!! Love you all!!
