| The referral photos for Sosina, April 16, 2009 |
Today is the anniversary of the day we received your
referral--the first day we ever saw your fourish-month-old little round face, heard your name and envisioned you, specifically, as our daughter. For us, your parents, today feels like your birthday. I cradled you this morning and told you about seeing your face for the first time. I told you about the little curl on the top of your head and how Daddy and I cried a happy cry. I rocked you and called you my itty bitty baby girl. You love when I refer to you as my baby and you often pretend to cry like an infant so that I scoop you up, hold you close and kiss you all over your face. This game, which happens frequently now, seems like it is making up for lost time--for both of us. I know the days where you
want to be my baby are numbered but you like to be reminded of it now. So today, I remind you and hold you and thank God for you. My baby.

Oh my gosh, you could already tell how beautiful she was - and she was just a tiny baby!
Sweet, sweet little bunny! What a cutie. Awww. Congrats to all three of you. There is nothing like seeing that little face for the first time. I'm getting all choked up.
Congratulations! What beautiful pictures!

Well, this post made me cry. I'm sitting here on a break at my school (i'm a teacher) and I happened to stumble on your blog. We are adopting from Ethiopia (waiting on USCIS approval) and we are pregnant right now (20 weeks)....and I just LOVE hearing about this day for you!!
