One year ago our Little Miss came into our lives

It was a Thursday and I had just finished up a tennis match and was leaving the park to head home. My agency called and I just assumed as always they were going to tell me what documents we needed to update or something. I was floored when I was told that we were matched with a little 10 month old girl!! After declining one referral already, I was extremely cautious and trying not to get my hopes up. Very shortly after arriving home I had an email waiting, containing 2 pictures that would change our lives forever. Even with all the blue dots on her face, I thought she was adorable and wanted to scoop her right up out of that playpen she was in........she was holding onto the rails, staring right at me from across the ocean. Never could I have imagined that one year later she is probably still in that same playpen for a huge part of her day. Its so hard to think about that and can only hope that we are finally able to scoop her out of there for good very shortly.
