Before and After ...

It was almost 4 years ago that Sean and I began the research into adopting a child from China. It was a decision we were not prepared to make lightly, our daughter deserved that ... we spent several months talking about it and although we were sure it was for us, we decided to take the time and make our final decision on one of our trips down south ...
Upon returning, there was no question in our minds that a daughter from China was in our future and so began the long process ... well, at the time we thought the 6-9 month process would indeed be long ... we couldn't have been more wrong! Here is a picture we took in Punta Cana 3 years ago ... when we imagined Cadence would soon enter our lives ...

And here is the same shot ... almost ... 2 YEARS later ...

Yes, Cadence was indeed worth the wait ...
Our trips south ... will NEVER be the same!
