Grace's Referral Photo

Grace and Piggy Piggy today!
One year ago today, we got "the call" that our agency had received our referral from China and in their hands, they had a picture of our daughter. As soon as the kids got home from school we drove two hours to our agency to get her picture and what little information they sent us about her. As soon we received our envelope with her info and picture, we hopped back in the car with the kids and headed for home. Not once did we peek in that envelope. The kids had voted and we had all agreed that we wanted to be home when we saw our daughter/sister for the first time. Thank goodness we did, because I do not think either Jeff or I could have driven home through all the happy tears after we laid eyes on her beautiful face for the first time! I still tear up every time I think back to that day.
Happy "Referral Day" to us!!!!!!!
