Hi Everyone,
I have been working on this slide show for a few days however, Photoshow has not been very cooperative.I think I have finally managed to get some clips together.
A month ago today we met Alyana for the first time. She was a scared, tearful, hot and undernourised little girl. In one month she has managed to gain 2 pounds and has moved from not being able to sit up on her own to almost standing by herself.
Amazing really!
We can't imagine a day without both of our children. Aly and Ben bring so much happiness into our lives.
We are very lucky.
Hope you all enjoy the photoshow.

Hi,
We read your story in the paper today and had to check out your blog. Congratulations on your new little cutie! It sure brings back memories from almost a year ago now when we went to China to bring home our sweet Rachel. Check out our blog if you would like to see our story. We live in Hanwell so maybe we will meet sometime!

Wow!
Congratulations folks! It's so nice to see your gorgeous family. The last I heard you were living in Ontario and in the process of adopting Ben. I remember you very fondly, Andrea, from our "Lakeland" days together and am happy to see life is treating you so wonderfully.
God Bless!
