Adoption Day 2008
Guangzhou, China |
On November 11, 2008 Juliette Rain was placed in our arms forever. I'm overwhelmed by the progress she has made in two years time. Gone is that shell of a child... and in her place... a vibrant, loving and sweet sweet little girl. Juliette has had a village helping her along the way. So many caring people from her pediatrician, eye surgeon, to our favorite PT, OT and speech therapists... all have been instrumental in lifting up my daughter so that she can reach her full potential. She is a treasure and we are so very fortunate to be able to call her our child.

| Adoption Day Dance |
Armed with her blanket / cape.... Juliette performed an impromptu dance to Chinese music in the kitchen. Twirling, leg lifts, and bows all around. After our dance we spent several hours at therapy doing physical and speech work. Then it was off to dinner with great friends to celebrate our special family day. We ate dumplings, baby bok choy and edamame.... and it was all topped off with a "bee" cake that Maisie and Juliette helped me make. Sweet memories.
