Happy Adoption Day, Abby!

So, today is Abby's Adoption Day. All day long Abby has been taking her ice cream cake out of the freezer and admiring it. Finally, tonight, after a celebration meal at Applebee's, she got to tear into the coveted confection.

Wow, to reflect back on her start and our whole start with the adoption process, I cannot help but be amazed. I am impacted by the power of choices...how we had a choice to say yes or no to Abby's placement with us, then again to adopt her. And the choices her birth mom made...

Now, here she is, so full of life, so sensative, so energetic and athletic and cute and smart and sweet... (I know, I'm using lots of elipsis periods, but they are coming in so handy with this sort of reflection.

Any way, the cool thing about adoption is that we chose Abby and we are still choosing her.

We love you, Abby, and we're glad your our daughter!
