Gotcha Day!

It's hard to believe that a year has past since the arrival of Jailin. We are so blessed to have such a wonderful little girl in our lives. It's been a heartwarming day and yet in another sense a touch of sadness. We have been reflecting on our gratefulness towards Jailin's birthmother and foster mom. We will be forever grateful for their influence and love.

On a more fun note, we went to Chinatown and Navy Pier to celebrate her day. We were joined by our second family, Megan, Andy, and Mason. It was a great day and it will forever be a wonderful memory for us all.


A year ago, we were waiting until 9am for Jailin to arrive.


Our first glimpse of Jailin. It breaks my heart to see how sad she was.


Our first glimpse a year later. It is so heartwarming to see the difference.

We received her picture on 8/3/07. Our agency called us the day before with basic information about her, but we were so excited to finally see her face!

Watch Jailin Grow...
