This picture shows me a woman who adored your Cricket and who ensured that the darling daughter you dreamed of was protected until her Mommy could come for her.

I have one of those pictures too, my girl is now 6, and it brings on so intense, cool, loving and important conversations. Cherish that picture! I am so glad for you and your girl.... <br /><br />p.s. My girl brought her picture at school. She had a small presentation to do on her life, to introduce themselves to her class. The teacher told me, when she saw me the next day, it was an emotional moment for her the teacher! My girl went up front her class (after about ten kids had gone before her) presented their baby pictures and family. She started relating her history, calmly, showing pictures of her country, her orphanage, her best friend at the orphanage (who we stll see, she lives 1.5 hours drive away), her nanny and this special picture we have, a bit like yours, gotcha day, and pictures of her and us in China, and picture of us now. She had a story, history, pictures and was so proud. We are lucky. We have pictures. <br />I am so happy for you, <br /><br />Marie-Claude<br />MontrealMarie-Claudenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38184985.post-71516522311590056952010-10-14T00:19:47.947-04:002010-10-14T00:19:47.947-04:00Beautiful words and picture.Beautiful words and picture.Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12711583593777948158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38184985.post-66734058178492102942010-10-14T00:16:21.948-04:002010-10-14T00:16:21.948-04:00I am so glad that you both have these photos.
