Little Miss Kirsten has been home one year today!
Hi All,
It has been quite a while since I have been on here but I wanted to share an update as today is our 1 year home for Kirsten and it has been quite an exciting year. It's amazing how quick time goes by and to think a year ago we had a baby and in the last year she has grown into this vibrant, happy, stubborn (LOL) little person and we couldn't be happier. All the pain and emotion of the "process" really does subside and to say it is totally worth it doesn't even begin to explain the love and joy we get everytime we see her beautiful smile. As we celebrate this today, I am saying a huge prayer for all those still in process. -Diana
