How Could You Know?
As you lay sleeping far away as still as you could be...
How could you know the joy today this photo brings to me?
A few short weeks and you'll be mine, and "I" will soon be "We".
How could you know the love I feel? It's something you can't see.
So have sweet dreams, my precious babe. Sleep well and tenderly.
Some say that you're the lucky one. How could you know it's me?

This a poem I found in reference to adopting a child from China. Different circumstance, different continent, same love! So frequently I have stared at the pictures we would get from the ultrasounds and have had the same feelings I had when I would stare at the referral pictures we recieved of Koko and Harper!!! It sums up how I have felt for the last 6 months.
A phase we heard so often while in China was what a lucky girl. I always thought it was about our girls, never in a million years did I think they would know my future and I would be that lucky girl!

:) i love this...can't believe today is the day!!!
I cannot believe I have been lucky enough to share three first days home with you. Each one was as amazing as the last. I am so happy for you and Josh and thrilled for our babies that they can grow up together! They were definitely worth the wait. Auntie Reagan
