I'll remember the moment for the rest of my life. The moment we got that incredible call and I saw my daughter, Lilah Grace Xiao Tong's face for the first time. "Cloud 9" were only words I'd heard and even said before - but I'd never really experienced them, not until this moment. I could hardly sleep, going over every little detail of her pictures, I would excitedly squeal every time I talked about her with friends. I had a perma grin for many many days!
It was an incredible day. What followed, the 9 months of waiting, it was a bit of a rollercoaster of emotions... but gosh, it was so worth it! Our beautiful girl, 4 years later, has brought us so much joy. Every day is a pleasure to spend with her. We feel blessed in an incredible way, to be a forever family.
I have to laugh, this past 2 years she been really tickled about her (very cute) sticky up hair! ...as I'm taking pictures or her, she's pointing at it and having a big old giggle about it! I just adore her joy and her sense of humor!
Our daughters are the most precious of our treasures, the dearest
possessions of our homes and the objects of our most watchful love.
