Happy tenth gotcha day

Ten years ago, God entrusted us with his most precious of miracles. I was a basket of nerves as I sat in the conference room and waited on her to be delivered. It had been almost two years since God called me to adopt. I'll never forget how it confirmed to me that I was supposed to go to China. He worked on me for several years just to get me to the point of knowing I could adopt. Then I couldn't imagine where. In the midst of many weeks of prayer, I received a website of collected blogs from families that had adopted from an orphanage in Yang ChunCity, China. Within days, after reading until my eyes couldn't stay open, I knew God had a baby for me in China. We submitted paperwork in January and later found out that exactly nine months from that day, our baby girl was born in Yang Chun City, China. It sent chills down my spine because there were thousands of cites and orphanages. There was literally zero chance that I would've ever heard of that obscure city apart from Gods hand. It was his perfect timing! It was hard to see on that day however as I sat and shook to my core! The moment her nanny walked her into the room, time froze and the world was perfect again. I instinctively knew exactly what she needed and she seemed to know me immediately!! I am so overwhelmed when I think of her beginnings and how far Yang Chun Guo had to come to be the Beautiful young lady she is today! Taking her back to adopt her little sister this year was so great for her. She soaked everything in and really felt a that part of her that I'm not sure she knew was there! She is mature, helpful and wise beyond her years!! Happy Gotcha Day Jillian Chun Elise, my Jillibug! Momma Loves you!!!
As we do each year, we let her pick a family activity and she wanted to eat at Shogun and go to the movies, so that was the day! Very thankful that big bro came home to spend the day with us!
