Gorgeous princess

A year ago today, at 12:36pm, I received the phone call that would change our lives forever. Our agency had a referral for us. A 9 month old baby girl with "dark hair, almond eyes, and light skin. Standing and walking with support, crawling very fast and babbling". Described by her caregivers as a "gorgeous princess".

As soon as I was off the phone, I ran to my car, drove around the corner to the YMCA, ran inside, took the stairs two at a time and found C on a treadmill. He knew as soon as he saw me we had received The Call. After I gave him all the vitals I knew, we rushed home to eagerly await the e-mail containing this one tiny photo, taken we-don't-know-when, but perhaps when she was six months old.

Oh Sherilyn - what a lovely post! :) I'm so happy you are all happy and together. She is divine.
I think she looks much younger than 6 months here. More like 3 months with the closed fists and all. :)
Either way - it's remarkable how much she has changed isn't it? :)
