A slideshow of Aida's entrance into our lives

in Adoption

Since I'm a photographer, I couldn't NOT document everything in site :) So I put together a one song slideshow from her first week (plus a handful from the court house)

click here

Married on 3.20.2004. It took 30 month, 2 failed adoptions and IVF for our first miracle. We have had 9 foster kids since he was born and started the domestic adoption process when he was 10 month old, we had 4 failed matches in that time. After our daughter was born we brought her home and spent 2 weeks fearing we might lose her because of complications that came up. But Praise God all went through and she is ours forever!

    Your video was amazing!  She is so gorgeous and the joy in all of the pictures is wonderful.  Her birthmom looks exactly like I've pictured her and she even looks full of joy in sharing Aida with you!  How GREAT is our God!
