From a tiny seed God planted in our hearts over 18 years ago.....Cultivated with mounds of paperwork, hours of prayer, interviews, travels for fingerprints, anxiety beyond belief, researching medical issues, fear of the unknown and 3 years of waiting...FINALLY, we would get to meet and see our daughter. On this day, 1 year ago today- January 18,2010....we held AnnaMei Grace Rector for the first time in Shanghai, China. I cannot express the emotions we were feeling and the emotions in that room. She came to us, we sat down and colored, and the rest is history.
A year of medical issues with dr's visits, surgeries, and procedures would not slow this little girl down. Starting preschool and later kindergarten in the past year. She has bonded amazingly with our family and has a perfect place in it. Thank you Lord for allowing us to be a part of her life!
