It takes time....


Bob and I are so content to finally have Hannah as our daughter, but...it takes time to "fall in love" with your child. Did you know that? I didn't. I thought that the feelings of being "in love" would be automatic after so much that we have been through together, but we since have learned (through reading about bonding and attachment in adoption) that it is normal for love to grow gradually and not be there in full measure for quite some time.

Would you pray that we will be patient and kind in all our actions with Hannah? We want to be the best parents possible for her and love her, and love her...and LOVE her...to the greatest measure! :) We cherish YOUR prayers.


She loves the kitties

Hannah is doing so well with petting the kitties carefully. She has learned that she needs to "pet nice" and not pinch the kitties :) It's so cute when she calls...um, rather, HOLLERS....for Freddie to come in :) He seems to be her favorite.

"illy", as Hannah would say...just being silly :)
