Ten years ago today

It's been a very long time since I posted on this blog, but I thought today would be an appropriate day.  Ten years ago today (11/23/05) our dossier was logged into the Chinese Center for Adoption Affairs for our adoption of Madison.  This date is significant & forever seared in my brain as this is the date that changed so many things in our life.  This date steered us to become friends with other waiting parents who were also logged in around the same time and still continue to be our friends both in person & on-line.  We treasure these friendships so much and are glad that our paths crossed on this journey because of a date.  

In thinking back it's funny to think that on the date we logged in, Madison hadn't even been conceived yet, let alone born.  At the time the wait seemed to drag on forever but in God's timing it was just needed to happen.  We are forever grateful to China for allowing us to adopt both Madison & Zeke.
