June 6, 2004! A day that changed our lives forever!!

I will never forget the nervous feeling I had when I entered the Civil Affairs Office  in Guangzhou on that Sunday, June 6, 2004.... 7 years ago. My heart was so happy, my mind was a mess, and all I wanted to do was cry! We had waited an eternity for this moment!  I watched the door like a hawk, hoping for one small glimpse of this little baby girl that I so desperately longed to hold in my arms!! And then there she was! They handed her to me and I was lost in another world! I lost all memory of anyone else in that hot and sweaty room! She was beautiful! She was tinier than I expected her to be! She was laughing, kicking her feet, and I was in LOVE! Totally, deeply,madly in love!!! And now here we are....celebrating 7 years together! To me it will always seem like yesterday! I had no idea what GOD was orchestrating in my life that  day in China! Little did I know that I would return to that very same place just 3 years later, and then return  to China again 4 years later ! HAPPY FOREVER FAMILY DAY, OLIVIA ELIZABETH YANG XIAO WAN SCHRINK! We love you so much!!!!!
