Three years ago today, in Hunan, China you were placed in my arms and my life changed forever. You are my gift that has brought me so much inner peace, and I thank the Lord for the miracle of you everyday. You have captured our hearts like no other and I will do anything to protect you, I will always give you all of my love and you will forever be our Asian Princess from afar. Please feel free to read my post on my feelings for Sophia..... it is under my "Meaningful Posts" section in my side bar and it is titled "I Never Dreamed"....... And I would also like to send my love out to all of my Pingjiang Sisters....the bond that many of us have is nothing short of a gift from God. ;)
Hugs....

you know how thankful i am God took us to China to meet and to have these breathe taking beauties ... we are blessed beyond words ...
Congratulations on your 3 year Forever Family Day!!! What a precious photo of her as a baby! These little girls and boys are a gift from God and the wonderful people you meet along the "red thread journey" are an added bonus!
Beautiful girl! I can hardly belive how much she has grown so quickly! I bet she did not know what a humorous mam she would have and all the fun she would have being yours!
BTW Were you 25 back then :)! You look great. I know you are a wee bit older, because your oldest daughter's age hints at it.
What an angel! Congratulations on 3 very happy years together! May you be blessed with many more. Like you say so well... NEVER TOO MANY :)
Congrats on three beautiful years together!!!
