We can hardly believe a year has past since that chilly day in Zhenghzou when we first saw your face in person. When we first held you. When our hearts burst open with joy.
We love you more than words could ever say. Our family is immeasurably blessed by you!

ReplyDeletemy heart was in my throat watching. what a beautiful gotcha day gift. it is by "grace" we are six also! thanks for sharing your walk.
ReplyDeletewe love you.
I had tears in my eyes throughout that whole video. What a beautiful little girl she is growing up to be and how blessed we all are to have her here with us. I have to also say how I admire you and steve for stepping out and following gods plan for you. It must've been scary but what a blessing it has brought. She is going to be so touched when she watches that video when she's older. Amazing job.
ReplyDeleteBEAUTIFUL!!!
ReplyDeleteFrom Hartford to Henan, Gracie is worth every step...every moment...every tear...every laugh. One less...a very, very special ONE less. Praise the Lord!

ReplyDeleteAwesome -- I was there for most of those photos- but still was in tears watching the video. -- kristy
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! Crying tears of joy with you!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful. As I watched it David kept saying that was him, that's me mommy! So cute that he associated himself with her because they look alike. We talked about who it was and that lead to a sweet time of recounting his adoption.
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting, Congrats on a year well done!
Blessings,

Beautiful video capturing such precious moments you will always treasure. I remember following your journey last year as we were about to leave to bring home our little girl who also has cleft lip/palate. Your story was such a blessing to us so thank you for sharing your journey. Enjoy your special day!!!
ReplyDeleteHAppY Forever family day...we are fast approaching our 1st year too..hard to believe how fast time has flown by and how much our baby girls have grown.
ReplyDeleteDeb, I gotta tell ya, Grace is very special to me. She was the first adoption journey that I followed when we officially started our journey to Tahlia. I didn't even known at that time that I'd be adopting a Cl/cp baby....in fact, the idea scared me a bit!! But, watching your journey to sweet Grace helped open my heart to these special little babies.....God used little Grace to give me a glimpse of the joys that would be ahead of us if we would step out in faith!!!
ReplyDeleteThe video is beautiful!!!!! Such a testimony to the Lords love for the orphan!!!!! ((hugs))
Deb, you truly have a talent for writing and your video was incredible!! I laughed and cried as I watched it. Thank you for sharing your journey to Grace with us, and for sharing Grace.
