March 15th

Well 5 years ago today our paperwork was logged into CCAA and our official wait began for Jaden. Thank goodness we are not still waiting like many people logged in just 3 months after us are! For three years we celebrated that we were one year closer to our daughter! Last year we celebrated that we were no longer waiting. I remember the importance of the day everytime I see those little numbers 3/15. I think I always will. For so long our life revolved around that special date. We counted the distance between our date and the date that came out every month. We marked the difference down and did the math in our head and on paper! We waited and waited for our number to come up. And finally it did! And there was a reason we had to wait all that time because we were waiting to be matched to that perfect little girl from China. Its amazing to think that Jaden was not even born when we were logged into China. She wasn't born until 2 years and 8 months later. Even though we no longer celebrate that special day of 3/15/2006 I know that I will always remember it. How can we not since that is all we thought about for so long?!?!?!?!


Here is a picture of two of the little 3/15/2006 babies. Jaden and Sophie. Please excuse the fact that Jaden looks like a hot mess. This was taken just after she threw-up at the lunch table! Such fun!
