Beautiful moments for BOTH of you!! I think she finally realized that you are really her mommy now, and that from here on out, it is forever. How tender that she wanted to be held and went through those emotions of a young toddler or baby...what a sweet and meaningful moment, no matter how awkward it may have been. She was very much giving of herself to you. My heart is smiling for both of you today! Praying for many more special moments together during your stay there!! <br /><br />Blessings and Hugs! <><<br />~TanyaTanyaLeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06273839306382041488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-703078761835658581.post-11196060282871255772009-09-28T14:10:41.545-04:002009-09-28T14:10:41.545-04:00Yippee, So happy things are going well!

We adopted our daughter from the same SWI as your daughter. Mandy(WeiDanNa)was the same age as your daughter when we brought her home in 2007. As I have been reading, I have been reliving our trip ... our girls are so similar in many ways. I share your grief,pain and triumphs. We just wanted to let you know that our family is praying for you both and for your journey as it continues at home. Mandy has joined me in praying for a "new friend" as she remembers the grief, the fear, and her joy at having a foreever family. <br />Please feel free to email me if I can be an encouragement and help/answer any questions. My name is Kim Smith and my email is bandksmith@yahoo.com. <br />I originally heard about your journey through a friend and then again through the Guilin Yahoo group. I am so glad to see that things are turning the corner. It brought tears to my eyes to read that she was hugging you and telling you that she loves you. What an amazing little girl!!<br />Kim (and Mandy,WeiDaNa,a7/30/07,Guilin Guangxi)Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03732123375936463052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-703078761835658581.post-27327081879467903032009-09-28T13:40:23.222-04:002009-09-28T13:40:23.222-04:00I am wiping away the tears as I read that she said...I am wiping away the tears as I read that she said - I love you. <br /><br />Blessings Sarah, you have so many in store for you with this beautiful child.<br /><br />God is good.<br />Jill xxthe meaklimshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11125408251393399758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-703078761835658581.post-23388768744925891802009-09-28T12:36:37.175-04:002009-09-28T12:36:37.175-04:00Wow!

What a fabulous end to your China odyssey - a happy girl who loves you (my heart seized up when I read that) and who knows you're going to be her Mom no matter how she acts or what she does or says to you. <br /><br />The sentence that stood out to me was <i>Meiying's spirit wants to be happy and this I learned and felt today</i> and reading that made me sob aloud.<br /><br />God is faithful, He is loving, He is an adoptive father who knows what you're going through -- the frustrations of His children, the rejection, the insecurity and the grief. He knows and is faithful and loving and GOOD!!!<br /><br />I'm so happy for you, congratulations on your last official duty in China, now you'd better think about packing up and heading home to your wonderful husband and sweet daughters. Can't wait to see the reunion pictures!<br /><br />I loved following your journey - even the awful bits...<br /><br />KellyTruly Blessedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14038333888405690505noreply@blogger.com
