Today we remember a sweet, sweet moment...

One year ago today we learned the name, birthdate and beautiful face of our child. Our child who we had longed for. The relief and joy we experienced on that day cannot be put into words. The joys and blessings we know from life with Maella Svetlana are numerous. We can't imagine our family without HER. A precious child, born on the other side of this world - destined to be ours by God. What a beautiful gift we feel so fortunate to have received. The pictures below are 1) her referral photo that we received one year ago today and 2) pictures I just snapped of her a few minutes ago.
