Description: This is for the Cosmo Cricket Challenge. THis LO is very important to me as it will be part of my daughthers life book to tell her about her adoption and what it was like to meet her. This picture was taken moments after she was placed in my arms for the first time. it reads: It seems like my whole life I have wanted a little girl for my very own to love and play with. So many dreams wraped up in an idea of her. Life does not always work the way we planned and for many years I thought the dream of you would remain a dream forever, only in my heart would you be. Then it all changed, daddy and I made a decision, we wanted YOU and so we began the process of adopting from China knowing that someday we would hold you. That someday took two long, yes very long years and finally I would see my dream come true. We had received a few pictures of you two months earlier and knew you were beautiful, but they could never do you justice and the moment I first laid eyes on you I knew then and there you were ment for me. God knew why I had to wait and He brought all the pain and hurt to an end the moment I looked at you. Then before I even understood what was going on in that building lobby filled with beautiful baby girls, all dark headed and full of wide eyed wonder, I heard our name... then your name. It was time the moment I had lived, breathed and longed for now for two years. They placed you in my arms and time stood still. You were mine and the most beautiful little girl I had ever seen. As I looked into your eyes you looked right back as if to say " Where have you been, I have been waiting a long time." You did not cry at first, just took us in and watched. I rember very clearly the smell of your hair, to this day and I am sure for the rest of your life that will bring this memeory very clearly to my mind. You had not been given a bath in a few days and your hair was plastered to your head, your cheeks were bright red and you were hot and very sweaty from being bundled from head to toe. Your little fingers barly poked out of your jacket but when I held your tiny hand it was as if I had always held it in some way. Every thing about that moment was perfect and I saw what my heavnly father had planned for you and I ... I saw God this day.... I saw him in you. I love you Miah and I alway will.

Sorry about the scan... I just hate my scanner, but I wanted to share anyway.
