One year ago today, a kind voice spoke the words we had longed to hear for so long, "there is a baby boy waiting for you in Taiwan."
One year ago today, will be forever etched in our minds & hearts as an ordinary day that became extraordinary.
One year ago today, Lauren and I hopped up & down anxiously waiting for Scott to rush home so that we could all view his precious face for the first time together.
One year ago today, my breath caught in my throat when I gazed upon his angel face for the first time & I knew that..... yes, little one, its been you all along.
One year ago today I instantly became the blessed Mama of 2.
One year ago today, our beautiful Little Miss became a proud Big Sis.
One year ago today, & with instant clarity I understood that yes, miracles can happen twice.
One year ago today I thanked God for 2 courageous, strong & selfless women halfway around the world who chose life. I'm thankful for them each & every day.
& all along a dream of him, a whispering of his name, had grown in our hearts & minds........
One year ago today that prayer was answered.

Our precious beautiful boy at referral; these photos were taken when he was 15 days old & are our earliest keepsakes of him..jpg)
And though it would be just shy of 5 1/2 long months before we finally held him in our arms, he was worth every moment(both the joyful and agonized) along the way.
Our beautiful baby boy at 12 months...............
Our baby boy(today) at 13 months is more than we ever could have imagined or had the right to hope for. Exuberant, funny, smart, sweet, spicy, adorable and oh so loving............one year ago today we knew to count our lucky stars and we haven't stopped since!

Oh my gosh, he has such a peanut! How precious and he is still as precious and handsome! Happy referral-versary!

What an amazing post. Such precious photos of your second blessing as an infant. And the expression on his face in his current photos is absolutely contagious! He has so much life in him, he's so apparently full of joy, and you're so sweet to recognize the woman who gave birth to him, for you are the lucky one to enjoy all that he is today and all that he will become. But honestly, he's lucky to have you too!
What a blessing and what a day! His new photo is so cute and just makes me smile!
What an awesome story! It makes me happy just reading it!
