I still remember when my little girl hugged ME the first time - when I didn't initiate the hug - she did. It was a glorious feeling. <br />She didn't push me away - but she never embraced our relationship, until that day, that glorious day.<br />I'm so happy you've found that love:)Sharihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03734301080820930082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38184985.post-13881109093476093762011-02-11T01:55:00.448-05:002011-02-11T01:55:00.448-05:00You both looks so beautiful!

I know just how hard it is, and sometimes no rationalisation of their behaviour can stop the very real hurt you feel. <br /><br />You know how I struggled with Hannah but just this week I had the following from her when I said I was going to leave her for 10 minutes at story time to book her birthday party: 'you know I'll be back ok?' 'yes of course. I know you'll always come back. You've been telling me for years.'Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12711583593777948158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38184985.post-41401061669741632142011-02-09T14:59:30.781-05:002011-02-09T14:59:30.781-05:00Bittersweet has become SWEET!

I'm sure seeing how easy the flow was with her Daddy had to be difficult. Oh, wow....so happy for you.<br /><br />And I LOVE the 2nd picture so much. I think these images came out beautifully. They show how complete your connection is. How special these will be in years to come.<br /><br />Hugs!!Wandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06645427399530140006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38184985.post-8821592139318124262011-02-09T13:47:56.047-05:002011-02-09T13:47:56.047-05:00What a wonderful post and wonderful photos.

Some days it feels like you are babysitting someone elses child, and thats hard to swallow and admit. Alina has only been home for 3.5mos and we are still getting to know each other, but its coming. The understanding gets a little deeper. Helps that she's almost 4 and understands things a little more.<br /><br />Anyway, you didn't fail. That first picture is absolutely fantastic and should be framed. It symbolic, you are always there, right behind her, sometimes blurred in the shadows, but always there. I love it!<br /><br />And I love her, she is just the cutest little girl!Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16016319645102022986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38184985.post-79335682296591433552011-02-09T09:44:29.806-05:002011-02-09T09:44:29.806-05:00What a beautiful and transparent post, Kayce! in a...What a beautiful and transparent post, Kayce! in all ways. <br />Attachment takes time and I so understand what you've gone through.

Like you, it was hard to swallow the fact that they did not know how to handle us loving on them in the beginning. I remember crying so hard on night two in China. But like you said, when it changes, it is like someone flipped a switch. Reagan was really accepting of us loving on her by the time we left china..... but only about a month or so ago did she actually start to kiss us back. I know the day and the exact time it happened.... it was such a wonderful feeling.<br /><br />Sorry to go on here, but I can so relate to every word of this post!<br /><br />Have a wonderful Wednesday~<br /><br />xo,<br /><br />LisaHalf Gaelic, Half Garlic!https://www.blogger.com/profile/17227046808604837073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38184985.post-55530077579373506062011-02-09T09:05:33.537-05:002011-02-09T09:05:33.537-05:00Love this post..
