I little over a year ago we were in Florida enjoying the sun with our beautiful baby girl. I can't believe it's already been a year! While we were in Florida, I was contacted by a couple from our hometown looking for information on US adoptions. The couple had been researching agencies and trying to make sense of the overwhelming world of adoption. We started emailing each other and made a date to meet for coffee when we where back in the country.
It wasn't long until they decided adoption was right for them. Over the last year (and many more coffees) a friendship developed as we cheered them on their adoption journey. When they told us they had a match, we were overjoyed! I felt like we were adopting all over again. Last month they welcomed their own perfect little bundle of joy and we couldn't be happier!
While they did all the hard work, I feel like we had a small part in creating this beautiful family. I like to think that our red strings got tangled together and we sorta led them to their child. :-) It makes me all warm and fuzzy thinking about them finally being together.
They'll be home later this week and I can't wait for Cassie to meet her future best friend. :-)
And just cause it's been a while, here is a couple of pictures of Cassie, taken on her first birthday. Enjoy!
