3 YEARS ago (yesterday)...

We met Megan for the first time.


This is the first picture we saw of her on a list of waiting children. I loved that curious gleam in her eyes.

And another received when we viewed her file. We were smitten.
And we still are, even more deeply than imaginable.

Love you so much, Megan. Happy Family Day.

Oh Linda, 3 years...in so many ways it seems like just yesterday and then, forever ago. :)

I fondly remember tuning in after all the rest of my family was asleep to see if there had been any update from China...to this waiting Mommy, your words and insights...your details were daily hope and inspiration. We "met" through that GW Yahoo group just weeks before you traveled to meet Megan. You were the first friend whose journey I was able to share. And though I loved you already, I quickly grew to love each member of your family as you shared your experience in China.

How your precious Megan has blossomed in those three years - filled to brimming by the love of her Forever Family...and how your family has evolved since that day! A joy to behold!

Happy Family Day! And so very many happy returns!!!

With Much Love and Prayers and (((Big Big Hugs))) ,
