Great thread
Tori was referred at 2 weeks old and is now 8 1/2 months old. I included her referral picture, our first visit picture and the pick up trip picture. She is the love of our lives.
I can't seem to get the referral picture to attach with the picture displayed so you have to click on it.

Here are my pictures of Mia.
We received her referral when she was 7 months old and she was known as Darlin. She has been home 3 months, she's now almost 18 months. Okay, I couldn't resist. I posted 2 of her now, one is in her Guatemala dress.
