An Amazing Love Story
Love at first sight:
Meeting my girl in her orphanage in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia,
January, 2009.
Amazing how much love a heart can hold; love that you never even knew you had.
Isn't Love crazy good?

How could you not love that precious little girl? She is just adorable...beautiful.I never thought I could love anyone like I do my kids. Then my sweet little grandson was born...even better and more love. I do understand the love you are feeling for your daughter. It is amazing that mothers have such unending love. Many blessings, Karen
Kimmie,
This reminded me of what a dear friend once told me. We were just folding laundry (I'm her mother's helper/ babysitter), but what she said has stuck with me forever.
She told me that when she first discovered each of her pregnancies, she wondered how she could love another child enough without sacrificing some of the love she had for the other(s), but that each time God just gave her more love to give. I love that. What an awesome God we serve!
Hope your day is a blessed one!
Katie :)
So sweet, so pure. What a very lovely post...I can see the love in your faces. So happy for you honey!
Kimmie,
What a great picture! It shows just a portion of that love reflected for us to see.

Wouldn't it be wild if we are both in Ethiopia at the same time!? I would love to meet you in person!!
how precious love is! and to think it's our Father can possibly love us more!
It is so amazing to fall in love with our children! I am so grateful that God gives us all the love we need -- actually full to overflowing!!! So excitged to see God doing the same for your family!
