 Topic: First Night
Posted: 10 August 2007 at 5:00pm |
Its nearly 1 in the morning and hubbys finaly fallen a sleep,I cant sleep right now  I have been siting here watching her sleep, she looks so peacefully, I could watch her all day 
Had a good day last day at the home and all I wantted to do was bring them all with me, I was crying on and off most the time tears of joy, we arrive back in NZ sunday night.
I have this weird feelig in the pit of my somach, I no this journey is over but I need to do something for some closure. Its been a hard few years and at one point I never thought I would ever have a baby,
Well I have taken sooooo many photos it not funny, and I cant bring myself to delete any of them LOL
Both James and I are 2nd generation chinese, hince the fact we adopted a chinese baby,
Ok me and Mia
Daddy and Mia, look at the big smile

you make a beautiful family, and mia is just adorably cute! i love the one of daddy and her smiling at each other.
so glad things have been going well for you all so far - bombshell is right, it is only just beginning, you are starting the ride of your life, and nothing will ever compare to it.
enjoy! ooh, and i hope that mia flies well, it might be scary for her! good thing she will be able to have lots of mummy and daddy cuddles during it.

you've brought tears to my eyes...those pics were beautiful. you all lool like you belong together.
Maybe some sort of ceremony or prayer (if thats your thing) as closure might help. something to mark the end of her old life and the beginning of your new life as a family. or maybe some sort of acknowledgement to the home, like a plaque or small gift that will be there forever...
and the pics may be small due to the settings on your camera. My hubby changed mine to all be huge...
hope you get some sleep soon...

congratulations on your beautiful family, you look so happy to be together
i think Gandt's idea about a ceremony marking the end of the old life and beginning of a new one is a good one
also, i read this once and i thought of it when i read your post, a little girl was asked what it meant by her being adopted, and she said "it means my mummy grew me in her heart,instead of in her tummy"
Again, so happy for you, welcome to the "mum club", wer'e glad your here

Leah she is so cute, good luck for the flight home and now the journey begins. I too have alsorts of photos of Andrew and Josh on our computer, even the ones Andrew took of himself when he got his hands on the camera, random body parts but still wonderful memories.
