At First Sight

When I first saw Sarah, I thought, "Uh-oh." I was immediately interested in her, but I knew another adoption wasn't in the plans for us.  So I told myself, "Don't look." I couldn't help it, though. I looked- a lot.

The day before our anniversary, I presented my husband with a picture and a note:

Here’s what I want for our anniversary –and Mother’s Day –and my birthday –and Christmas –and just because. 

My timing was off... it took a year... but this spring we were on our way, figuratively speaking, and this month, we were on our way, literally. We traveled to her country and we met her! One huge step closer to bringing her home.
