It’s hard to believe that six months ago, we were still just a couple. But Monday will be the sixth month anniversary of bringing our kiddo home! This is typically a time when parents post before and after photos of their kids to show how much children can improve in such a short period of time when they are in a loving family environment and are receiving the care they need. For parents, it can sometimes be hard to see the improvements our kids are making when we see them every day. So looking back can be a good reminder of just how far our kids have come.

She’s getting stronger and learning new things every day. I’m not going to lie and say it has been easy or that everything (anything?) has gone according to plan. What has really surprised me the most is how hard it has been, even in such an advanced modern city like Shenzhen, to find doctors who can meet her needs. We’ve met some really great doctors, but we’ve met some really awful ones as well. I could do a whole post about that.

But overall we are so happy to have our little girl home and are so blessed to be able to help her grow up the best she can. If you want to learn more about adoption, you can check out our agency’s website, CCAI. You can also email me or hit me up on Facebook. I’m always happy to answer questions about adoption or our life in China in general.

Happy Anniversary, Sweet Girl!
