My daughter...

Yep...she's mine. Can't quite take credit for her natural beauty but maybe for the light in her eyes and smile on her face. Today a TON of our friends are headed to Florida for Kazapalooza which is a yearly reunion for families who have adopted children from Kazakhstan. it wasn't in the budget for us this year but we hope to make it a priority next year.
Anyway, as I think of all the wonderful, beautiful, amazing families that will be headed down to Florida, I am inspired.
All those children were, at one point,abandoned, alone, Fatherless, Motherless.
Now, they are loved, treasured, celebrated, as every child should be.
I love adoption. I love Kazakhstan. I love that I've been able to know so many
inspiring, courageous parents and children.

This one still inspires me every day...
