We adopted our beautiful daughter Olivia in Feb/07 at 11months old. She is the absolute pride and joy of our lives. We are thankful that God blessed us with miscarriages and fertility issues, or we wouldn't have the beautiful daughter that we can't imagine life without. Just look at her, she was meant to be.
Thanks for stopping by to share our life with us.
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change
The courage to change the things I can
and the wisdom to know the difference
We made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.”
We are adjusting to life at home. Olivia loves all her new toys and the freedom of roaming around the house. Here are a couple pics from the last couple days. As you can see Nanny is pretty proud of her little grandaughter.

Too cute!! LOVE the parka. She's a Canadian Girl now!
She is just adorable. Nanny seems to be just loving the time with Olivia. That is what I love about our grandkids. You can spoil them rotten and then go home..smile.. Happy Chinese New Year to Olivia and her family. Looking forward to lots of photos of this beautiful baby. Talk to you all soon. Your cousin Phyllis and Aunt Betty Wiscombe.
Cute photos! I must say Nanny looks very young herself! Glad you are all having fun and enjoying Olivia! A big Thank You for sharing her with us waiting folks! Love her coat and hat she is just precious!
I have been horrible about posting, but am SO SO enjoying Olivia and watching those videos... you have one, rather strong, ball of energy on your hands. She is such a ham. I'm glad everything is going well so far, and welcome HOME. Kris

Okay Debbie, I am still dying to know how things went back in China at the medical- what were Olivia's weight & height? She seems to be doing well and settling in. How are Mommy & Daddy doing with the jetlag?
Hi Debbie! LOVE the pictures of your Olivia at HOME! She is just beautiful, absolutely beautiful. Do you pinch yourself that this is real? I think I will be doing a lot of that once we get home!
Have fun (I know you are!). Julie Autumn Dreamer LID 10/28/05
Olivia is such a cutie pie! :-) I can't get over how young your mother looks and how happy ... I know she must be thrilled to finally have sweet Olivia in her arms at last!

We miss you guys alot since China. Hailey is doing great. She is sleeping at night and awake through the day (with a couple of naps). She isnt back to 4 bottles a day, but has started reluctantly taking solid foods (still no teeth). Would love to hear from you when you come up for air. Take care, talk to you soon.

Love Jason, Alex and Hailey.
Everything looks just perfect. She is so beautiful.
Olivia is just a "Doll", I enjoyed following your journey to receive her and look forward to following her adventures.

Is everything okay? Getting worried as we have not seen an update or a hello in so long. Do I need to drive to your town and find you? Amy Group 241
