Happy Birthday Baby

February 28th, 2003 A woman in Indiana was grieving her pops. Today he would have been 88. It has only been 1 1/2 years since he passed. It was along battle with being ill and his passing was a relief but still it hurt to lose your last parent. February 28th, 2003 China was suffering with it's worst ourbreak of SARS yet and the adoption program was in turmoil. Our Dossier was there waiting to be matched to a baby. On that day a baby girl was born in the city of Yin, Hunan PRC. A mother watched her baby cry for the first time. Who would have known this day of grief would soon be replaced with a day of Joy. I guess it was God's way of helping me through. Happy Birthday Dear Genevieve. I have watched you grow from a little baby to such a big girl. Today your true personality shows through daily as you learn more and more every day.
