At the site Grown in my Heart they are asking "What are my most treasured adoption photos?" Almost impossible to narrow it down but I thought these three tell the story best.
At the airport in 2004, leaving for China for our first daughter, Dahlia.
Arriving back with our darling Dahlia. Blissfully happy.
(excuse the techno-challenged author.)
Arriving back at the same airport (at 2 in the morning) in August 2009, as a family of four.
Need I say more!
Hi, I'm Wanda. I am a happy woman, wife to Danny for...oh....lots a years and finally Mom to THE most adorable little girl from Hunan, China - Dahlia. And now we have been blessed again with another daughter, Milana, from Zhejiang, China. (The 2 best things I've ever done!)
We live in the Montreal area. After a loooonnngg wait for Dahlia's little sister Milana (pronounced - Mee-lana, like banana), we finally brought her home in August 2009. Dahlia came to us in Nov 2004 (at 20 months of age)and a year later we began the application for another baby - at the time the waiting period was around 8 months. Almost 4 years later (say what!?!)we, at last, brought Milana home.
This began as the story of our journey to bring Milana home and life with her big sister, Dahlia. It now continues as we live as a family of four!
