We had a great weekend on the 13th and 14th. Some friends that I met at the Fam Taiwan picnic in Salisbury NC came down this weekend to see Beaufort and the coast of Atlantic Beach. They had a great excuse to come meet Tessa in person. Amanda and Scott have 2 beautiful adopted daughters Katie is 7 and is from Russia and Emily just turned 4 and is from Taiwan.
We celebrated an early birthday for both Tessa and Emily with a princess cake, the pool at the Sheraton and the Beach... Tatumn and Katie had a blast together and Emily is just a smiley little girl... We enjoyed great weather and great laughs together.... Can't wait to visit with them again.
Never did I imagine that adoption could bring so many families together to create a lasting friendships for us and our children. I have a great family in Raleigh who now has 2 beautiful daughters from China. Sarah will be 7 and Mary is 18 mos. She has been home about 3 mos now.
Pat has been my mentor throughout this whole process. I don't think we would have gone through intl. adoption without her help. Pat was their through every crazy ? I had and every worry I had in the beginning. Thanks Pat for everything you did for us and guiding us through these crazy years..... I also want to thank my fellow bloggettes on our adoption group that we formed with other adoptive parents who are adopting through Commonwealth in the Taiwan Prog B. We had formed quite a great little group. We all have each other through these ups and downs, and twists and turns in intl adoption. They have been my saving grace.... Thanks Girls!!!!
For anyone who doesn't know how rewarding it is to bring a child into your lives through adoption you have truly missed a great gift. She is ours..... We feel like Tessa has always been ours....
