Today is so special!!!!
The anniversary of a miracle!
7 years ago, in a huge civil affairs office in Southern China, we were handed the most beautiful treasure in the whole wide world.
That room suddenly became a labor and delivery room and every emotion was experienced in that sacred precious encounter.
When they walked in with her, our hearts stopped. We were overwhelmed with her beauty. ….Tolly was so scared and confused…it broke our hearts to see the fear on her face
.….but we just held her so closely, wiped her tears, and rocked her and kissed her like crazy and kept whispering in her ear how much we love her and would always be hers forever and ever
…and the world stood still as all our hearts began to intertwine in a mess of love and fierce devotion and absolute awe
….. I can honestly say, it was INSTANT TRUE- crazy over the top LOVE!!!!
I still can not believe that God would choose to bless us with the incredible honor to be the forever family to this amazing incredible and perfect little girl.
She is a gift beyond words…..God knew how much we would all need each other.
Our Tahlia Xiuhanna, She will always be our first China love…our first China miracle….she is the reason we kept going back!!!!
Here is her amazing Adoption video….. We watch it every year.
It always makes me cry! So many miracles….so many blessings. Thank you Jesus, for the gift of our Tolly-pop and the miraculous gift of adoption….To think of all we could have missed had fear won.
Here is her adoption journey:
