I just finished another fabulous book! This one is called The Red Thread by Ann Hood.
It is about a group of families getting ready to adopt babies from China. We didn't adopt from China but there were just so many of the same emotions in the course of our process that reading this brought it all back.
If Yaya wasn't asleep right now I'd sit her down and retell every detail of our trip to pick her up.
The buying and packing and list making... and then that moment when you see your beautiful child for the first time...
And back up even further to the first time we saw her picture... It was February 12th. I was sitting at my desk and there she was - 8 days old wearing a funny little green sweater peacefully sleeping... Even now, it still brings tears to my eyes.
I am so happy that we get to be her parents.
