Family Day!

Six years ago today, on the other side of the world ... in a hotel elevator lobby in Changsha, Hunan ... we were given the precious gift of our daughter. It was a whirlwind of emotion. Thinking back, it is a pretty surreal experience to have someone just hand you an 11-month old child who is suddenly yours. But we could not love her any more if she were born to us.

Abby cried at first, and then was pretty solemn most of our time in China. Today she is a happy and such a beautiful child. Hard to imagine life without a little girl in it. Hard to imagine life without a grade school daughter to keep us on our toes! Hard to imagine not having experienced the joy of growing our family through adoption.

Happy family day Abigail Kui Yan! Our trip journal is here, Our Beautiful Sunflower
