It absolutely amazes me how God can plant a little seed in your heart, in a
place you didn't even know was vacant, and allow such a love to grow!
Gabriella has been home with our family for two years and eight months;
exactly how long she lived in China before she was placed in our arms.
The adoption books say that it's at this point that you will see their full
personality evolve and has it ever evolved!!! The little girl who walked in the
civil affairs office as confident as can be, then had her entire world turned
upside down and moved half way around the world, that confident little girl is
back!
I can't even put into words the amount of joy, happiness and love she has
brought to our family. I wonder if she knows that if I could have asked God to
create the perfect daughter that she exceeds everything I would have ever
prayed for? Does she know that I've smiled and had my heart melt at least a
zillion times over the last two years and eight months all from having the
most precious daughter in the entire world?
She is mischievous and knows exactly what buttons to push to turn all three
of her brothers worlds upside down! The shirt says it all "semi-sweet"...and I
wouldn't want it any other way!!!
To say she fits in perfectly to our family is an understatement!
This was the pose she would do for the camera for the first few months after
coming home from China...it looks like she still remembers it!
Gabriella Grace Hao we will never be able to thank God enough for giving us
one of the most miraculous gifts in the entire world, you! You have completed
our family and made it more complete than we could have ever dreamed!
Thank you for the happiness and joy that you bring to our life each and every
day!
