Happy Adoption Day

>This was taken this morning at breakfast
We never knew 9 years ago that this beautiful bunch would be ours!

Quoted from "Happy Adoption Day" book my parents got us when Rayna came home.


Oh, who would have guessed? Who could have seen?
Who could have possibly known?
All these roads we have traveled, the places we've been
Would have finally taken us home?

There are those who think families happen by chance,
A mystery their whole life through,
But we had a voice and we had a choice-
We were working and waiting for you.

So it's here's to you and three cheers to you!
Let's shout it, "Hip, hip, hip, hooray!"
For out of a world so tattered and torn,
You came to our house on that wonderful morn...
And all of a sudden this family was born.

Oh Happy Adoption Day!

Nine years ago today we were blessed with our daughter. Happy Gotcha Day to our beautiful growing girl!
