Happy One Year Anniversary! The girls are beautiful and look like they are really thriving in your home. I can't imagine the pain your heart has been through, but looking at the joy on these two girls' faces, knowing that you made that possible, must in itself, be a great blessing.

Continued best in this wonderful, but sometimes painful, journey called life.

I don't get on much anymore so I missed the pictures. I can't believe it's been that long. I think we were all so relieved that you finally had a happy ending!!
