One year ago today in Fuzhou, Fujian




after nine months of praying, our lives changed forever. We watched a sad, crying little boy being brought into our hotel lobby. We were hoping for a peaceful transition! He was brought into the conference room and sat in our guide's lap while they tried to make him stop crying to take his adoption and passport photo. I know he did not know what was going on. I was not able to hold him till after that was done. It was very hard.

Today we have an almost 4 year old boy and he is one of the happiest children I have ever seen! He is smiling all the time and has a wonderful disposition. God has truly blessed us. Tonight we had cake, please forgive the messy background in the video, we just started school and things are not quite as I would like them. Look at that smile!

Lesa, Corwin is adorable and I agree with you that William and he look very, very much alike. Will is 2 and a half and will be 3 on Christmas Day! I'd love to talk and share some more information about William if you like. My email is:Gailby123 @aol.com.
Looking forward to hearing from you.

You have a beautiful family!

Gail
