This Wednesday, one year ago, we completed our pre-approval paperwork for TWCA. On the same day, Anna turned nine months old. Looking back, it's hard to believe everything that happened over the year. When we started the process, we were hopeful we would have a baby this year, but honestly, we didn't believe it.
While Anna hasn't been with us for 2 months yet, it feels like she has been part of the family all that time, especially since we had her referral. All the photos and videos made her seem real to us. It's amazing to look at our little girl and know she is part of our family now. We especially love the kisses she gives and how she lights up when she sees us.
As frustrating as the entire process was (and we had the paper chase from Hell!) I know now that everything worked out the way it was supposed to. If we hadn't gone through the fiasco with China and India, we might not have been where we needed to be for Anna. It made all the tears, heartache and stress worth it.
