This weekend started Chinese New Year. So I got the kids dressed in the outfits we bought in China. We did not buy new ones this trip because Hope & Maggie were not interested in them. Thankfully we bought larger sizes 3 years ago and the dresses fit the girls. YAY!
So I got the kids dressed up. And of course took photos. I look at our kids, and think about where they came from. And where they are now. I actually forget about Abby, Jadyn & Ethan even being adopted, because they were babies when we brought them home. But Hope & Maggie are different, because they were older. They brought part of China home with them. I remember how scared they were on Aug 6. And now I see their beautiful smiles.
I'm amazed at what Love & Family can do to a child. It changes them, FOREVER. Even though we have some hard days, I'm so thankful that we adopted. I look at each of them and can see God's awesome love. I see miracles. And I'm just so thankful.
