13 years ago today, we left for China to bring Aiden home! We had no idea the chaos that was in store for us. A 12 + hour flight (that we almost missed), all of our luggage lost for four days, a cancelled hotel reservation /interrupter by our adoption agency, and a 10 year old daughter having full-blown panic attacks along the way. I honestly want to smack people that say…”Oh you adopted?..you got out the easy way”. 😳 Others have said “Someday you will find all of this funny”. 13 years have passed and I still don’t think it’s funny! In fact, it makes me sweat! The “pains of labor” were intense to say the least but the gift of our baby boy made it all worth it! This kid has been the bright spot in our lives. I wasn’t sure I would survive having a boy (A destructive tornado would be my best description for this little boy who was curious about everything). What a little booger he was! 🤣. But oh what a joy he’s been! Hard to believe he’s in high school this year and is saving every penny to buy a truck when he turns 16. He’s a Boy Scout working hard to reach Eagle. He does well in school (once motivated 😉). He loves life, nature and all animals. He’s the void we never knew we had in our little family. Though the journey to Aiden was difficult, the reward we received far outweighed the difficulties! The pictures below are two of my favorites. One as a mischievous little booger that torn my house apart, and the other picture is recent. Same smile, same love for life and same wonderful gift! #loveussomeAiden!
