One Year Ago Today...

One year ago today,we were given our sweet Tong Min Wei. Inside the Jin Feng Hotel in Nanchang, a nanny from her village orphanage and the orphanage director put little Wei Wei in our arms. We had dreamed about the moment for so long, but nothing could prep us for that very moment. She was so scared and so sick.

She cried for so long (until I put her in the sink for a bath), and she slept through the night (no doubt from sheer exhaustion). She has changed so much in a year. Sometimes, it feels just like yesterday they brought her to us. In other ways, it feels like forever ago that we were in China.

One thing we know: we were meant to raise this child. We love her so infinitely much. We feel so blessed to be her parents.

Grace is a gift from God, the giver of good gifts, of which, she is one of the greatest.
