This vacation was extra sweet for me. FLASHBACK to May 2007:: You see in the middle of May last year we went to the same resort for a vacation. We had that vacation planned long before we knew what the future held for our precious C's referral. With extremely sad and heavy hearts, we packed our 4 kiddos in the car and headed to San Diego with the hopes of receiving good news regarding our baby girl. On May 1st, we had received the joyous news that we had been matched with our precious C. On May 15th, we received the devastating news that CCAA had requested her file back because her VSD had apparantly healed and she was no longer considered a sn's child. They wanted her file back so they could refer us a different sn's child. I will share more about this in a few weeks!!!!
FLASHFORWARD:: Words can't even explain the joy I had when (just about one year later) I watched our little miracle step foot on that beach...the very beach that I prayed and wept at over her.
My precious Lord, I am in awe of all you have done for our family! I am so undeserving of your priceless gifts!!
MORE PICTURES TO COME IN A FEW DAYS :)

What an amazing gift. Perfect miracle. Beautiful little girl. I miss you too. As I wore my sweet boy the other day I was telling him about who loaned his wrap. Lets chat soon. And yes, I'll bring my camera when we come visit and we'll tackle the kids. :)
Hi, I found your blog through your signature on the Yunnan yahoo group. We have 1 homegrown son and 2 daughters from China, the youngest is from Kunming. She was SN, also a heart condition - ASD - but we found out when we got home she either never had it or the holes closed on their own. Anyway, I'm also a Christian homeschooling mom. Nice to meet you! I can't wait to hear "the rest of your story".
God is good my friend. I am so happy that Cana is home where she belongs. :)
Hugs,
JOnni
