A Very Special Day...







Last week we had the opportunity to spend a day at the park with two little girls who had been at the same orphanage (in Shanwei) as Isabelle. Hanna (the little girl below) was at the orphanage at the same time as Isabelle. She was adopted two weeks before Isabelle. According to the nannies we met, Hanna and Isabelle's cribs were next to each other. I have kept in touch with her mom, Erin, and they were sweet enough to make time in their vacation to come and have these girls reunite.

Below: Hanna, Isabelle and Julianna. Julianna arrived at the orphanage after Isabelle and Hanna had been adopted, but there is still that special bond of being raised at the same place and having the same beginning in life as someone else. Julianna and her parents live in Cullman, about an hour north of Birmingham. Her mom Amanda and I plan on getting these girls together often.
