12 Month Post Placement time...

Can I believe that it's almost been 1 year since baby Reese came home? No I can't. Sometime I just have to shake my head in disbelief. What seemed to take a lifetime to happen, has happened and kept on moving on as if those four years waiting were nothing. Time is funny like that.

Tonight our social worker will be by to do all the necessary paperwork for our last report and our final interview. We've reached the 12 month post placement time. Yea...

We spent some time reminiscing last night about the past year and all the changes we've seen in Reese. She is growing and bonding so wonderfully. God has truly blessed us and her. She's our precious little baby girl.

I can still remember the little scared crying baby girl in China that just wanted to go back with the only family she ever knew but you know now that is just one small memory in a list of so many wonderful ones...

See what a difference a year can make...
