children's bridge halloween party

Today our adoption agency (Children's Bridge) hosted a Halloween Party.
Our little Ladybird had piles of fun.
She spent most of her time at the craft tables.
But best of all, she got to fly around and catch up with all her little friends.

Amelia & Lilah: We travelled to China with Ameila's parents and spent those first two weeks of our lives as a family, together. We received our beautiful girls (in the same room) just minutes apart. Very intimate moments. We have a strong connection with this sweet family.

Saltanat: We met Saltanat's parents at our first 'waiting families' get together.

Olivia: We also met Olivia's Mom at our first 'waiting families' get together.

Lilah, Olivia and Saltanat's referrals all came within about three months of each other. We were all waiting for referrals from different countries. Lilah was born in China, Olivia was born in Vietnam and Saltanat was born in Kazakhstan. Our beautiful Asian girls, all born in different countries, all with a similiar story of how they came to be with their family.

We have been blessed beyond words.

  8. Hi JinXiu!

    I use an 'action' in photoshop, and it's a free one from the pioneer woman!

    It you're not familiar with her (she's truly AMAZING) here's her website.

    The action is called 'Quick Edge Burn'. :)

    Hope this helps.
