Christmas was hard. Our dossier was not even logged in in China, despite 7 months of work. It was Christmas without our daughter, knowing she was still so far away. My 24 year year old daughter gave us a beautiful ornament for Corie, a letter "C" covered in crystals. And by this time everyone would ask, "When do you get your new baby?"
It was months later when God gave us this picture of her, made in December. All bundled up, with soft hair and sweet cheeks. We are thinking of you, dear one, and we will be there as soon as we can.
The miracle of how we got this picture is amazing. My husband sent me a link to her orphanage. There was an option to join a Yahoo group that had adopted from there. When I signed on to join I had to enter her Chinese name. Low and behold, the moderator of the Yahoo group was our daughter's sponsor, so she had updates and this picture. Even our agency did not have this information.
