One year ago today we met Abby for the first time!
Wow, how the time has flown.
Older child adoption is so wonderful!
Meeting Abby...
Notice the look on her face, as she cuts her eyes up at H.O., poor thing! She was scared, but not for long, she quickly warmed up. She was not too sure about her new family!
Now knowing her better, when she gets nervous the lips go out. Thankfully, that is a look we do not see anymore.
She is SO brave!! I can not image leaving all that I have ever known, good or bad, and walking away with strangers that I now call my family. However, now that we talk a lot about her past, she openly shares she was a little scared but more excited. Excited to have a family of her very own!! Excited to have a fresh start!
One year later....
a happy girl!!
Yes, there are moments but for the most part she is a happy, loving, sweet girl!
No more pulling away!! She is enjoying the love of her family!
Only God could perfectly match us with a child on the other side of the globe that blends into our family and is OUR child!

Knowing what little Abby and the rest of the family has been through this year and seeing that beautiful smile in the photos just warms my heart!
