Flashback Friday


When we were in China in 2006, we had the opportunity to meet the Ladybug's foster mommy. She is a wonderful woman who took care of our daughter for the first 7 months of her life. This lady loved and cared for our daughter as if she were her own. They shared a very special bond, that only a mother can truly understand.

We were told early on in the adoption process not to expect any photos of our little girl from before she was united with us. So, we planned on just that. However, the day the Ladybug was placed in my arms by her wonderful foster mother, this amazing woman also gave us a very special gift... a photo album filled with photos from our daughter's first 7 months of life. We treasure these photos because they are a link to her past and a time before she was our daughter.

For this first Flashback Friday post, I want to share with you a photo of our daughter. The photo is a special piece of our daughter's history, a history that we cherish dearly. This little girl is so precious to us. We are so very blessed. I hope you enjoy.

~~Aloha!

That is so awesome! What a priceless gift and treasure! We were given a couple of pictures from Paige's foster mom too.
