A year since our referral

It has been a whole year since we received our daughter's referral. I can remember so vividly getting 'the call' and anxiously waiting for her picture to appear on our computer screen. What a surreal day that was. It felt as if that day would never arrive - and here we are, a year later. I spent hours staring at Allison's picture, sneaking glimpses of her a gazillion times a day, memorizing every detail of her face (since that's all I could see amongst the two loads of laundry that she was wearing).

Even though it seems like yesterday, it feels like Allison has always been a part of our family.

Thos referal pictues always make me think of a "stunned" and confused kids. It's always good to see the happy kids in the 'after'.

Tammy, I remember seeing this referral picture and thinking Allison was a cutie and she just gets cuter every day!A year already since our referrals. Seems like yesterday and yet it seems like an eternity. I remember the anxiety before and the absolute joy after seeing the photos, but I'm having trouble remembering life without Buttons. I'm sure you're feeling the same way.

She's adorable - then and now. Could they have put anymore clothes on her?

Happy referral anniversary - what a cutie! It's funny how such a major life event can go right out the window and you feel like you've always been a family. When exactly does that happen? Maybe it's all those months of dirty diapers ..
