it has been one year... one year to this minute that we met Jasmin ( Lilja's birth mom) and she changed our lives... forever...She chose us to take on the most important and amazing task.. to become Lilja's parents. We met her Saturday morning and talked for about 2 hours.. talking about everything.. finding common grounds and just getting to know this beautiful girl that hopefully would still love us after we talked.. then that moment came that the agency asked if we and she wanted to go ahead with the adoption...we all look at each other and felt this was an amazing match.. and still is... That afternoon we met Lilja at the cradle care house of Diane's.. this tiny little girl captured our hearts immediately and we never looked back...
here is our first meeting captured by Diane.
The next day we all met for the placement ceremony..we were in awe of Jasmin . She was so poised and sweet. One of the images of the ceremony that is is always in my mind is the candle with the three wicks.. One for Lilja, one for us, and one for Jasmin.. Looking back at this year we all three have honored that candle throughout this last year.. Here is to another year of visits and Skypes and letters!!.. ...
