It feels like yesterday, and yet it seems like forever that Leah has been our daughter. We, as a family continue to be thankful for the miracle that God has blessed us with by bringing this precious child into our family.
From a baby house in Ust Kamenogorsk, Kazakhstan a year ago Leah entered our lives and hearts, and we have never been the same. We have experienced great joy and the purest type of love one can be blessed with. The unconditional love of an innocent child.
Leah has learned to love and to be loved. She has bonded with each of us in her own special way and we with her. Watching her grow and play and learn and experience life is an adventure every day. We have all learned to realize how special life is, and the importance of looking for miracles every day.
Chris and I have the added pleasure of watching our son and daughter form that special bond that only exisits between siblings. We again are so greatful that God opened our hearts to adoption because of the special relationship our children now share. Seeing them interact and share emotions is awesome. They are protective and playful and loving and caring to each other especially when it really matters. Christopher being the older brother never ceases to amaze us with the kind young man he has turned out to be. We are so proud he is our son.........
I didn't give you the gift of life, But in my heart I know. The love I feel is deep and real, As if it had been so. For us to have each other Is like a dream come true! No, I didn't give you The gift of life, Life gave me the gift of you. --- Unknown
