He seemed so fragile, so small. I'd told myself from the beginning of the process that I was not going to get attached until we'd passed court.Yeah, whatever.
I still so admire those who can pull this off. But I couldn't. It was impossible for me, and what a gut-wrenching three months were ahead of me...little did I know.
A year ago today, now to this:
What an unbelievable year. Love, love, love. Thank you, my dear friends in this community, for caring, for giving support and love, comments galore, packages mailed and prayers. In case you missed it, our referral day post is here.

Well, now this just makes a misanthrope like me tear up. And rereading the referral post is almost too much to bear. Lucky Lori! Lucky Ted! Lucky Abe! Lucky Buddy! How does one world offer up so much possibility to fall in love?
What a roller-coaster ride this last year has been! I'm so happy for the Rooney's! Love to you all.
I still remember that day for you and Amy!!! Amazing. So happy to know you and to share in your journey...

I know I'm gonna have to reread that post, but this one makes me cry already. And the pics, well, that does it. Abe DID look so tiny and fragile...and now look. That picture, I hope, is going to be framed big on your wall.....gorgeous!
Happy anniversary!

Happy Anniversary to three people I am incredibly lucky to have met this year. Incredibly lucky. You guys are beautiful.

Big tears! Happy anniversary! I love the picture of you both. Such a perfect fit.
Oh wow. Congratulations. What a difference a year makes - to both of you! In such, such a good way.
I can hardly believe it's been a year since you found out about your sweet boy. I'm so very glad for all of you and am excited for your first Christmas together as a family!
What a year, right? Abe and Nathan were tiny little bundles weren't they? Now, they are roaming, talking, gorgeous little boys. I am so proud to have been friends with you over this last year. I am so glad we have this "story" to tell our boys. Here's to many more referral-iversaries.
