This is the second picture we saw of Kate (on left in all of these pictures) and Lily. An ocean of words couldn't describe the emotions of that day. Falling in love with someone through a picture in a matter of minutes is not something you can begin to expect others to understand unless they, too, have done it. Since adoption was a choice and not a necessity for Phil and I, many people ask us if we ever wish we had "our own" child. Lily and Kate are the miracles that we struggle to grasp the magnitude of our in lives. It is as if they are asking, "Don't you wish you had a different unbelievable miracle?" Now that is a bit of a crazy question, but I wouldn't have this prospective either without having experienced it. I can't blame them for being curious, it is just frustrating to not be able to put your boundless love for your child into 5 minutes of "general summary" words. I do try, but the words coming out of my mouth are immediately deemed inadequate by my heart.
Alas, what's a hoplessly in love adoptive mother to do...but, of course...BLOG to show them off!! Hee-hee! Here are the Chinese American princesses sporting their country pride!
