Family Memories:

We saw the first smile….

Our daughter had been in foster care from the day she was found until the day she I met her. She cried and grieved terribly hard for much of the trip. It was finally at the White Swan hotel that we saw the beginning of her wonderful and winsome personality with a HUGE sense of humor start to come out. We saw a huge wonderful smile one day at breakfast time, and we felt we had truly turned a corner in building a relationship with her. She is now the light of our lives and an absolute delight to our days. Here is a photo of a full out smile captured at the US Embassy. It’s an absolute favorite photo of our entire trip!
