daddy's girl

This one is too cute not to post.

Jason took Kaydee up to ride the carousel. She wasn't sure about riding on his shoulders at first, but soon she had a huge smile. She really loved the carousel ride!

gotcha day 8/4/09

The day finally came for us to meet our sweet angel Kaydee!

We met her at Chung-yi orphanage around 10 am . By 11:30 am we were walking out the door with our girl!!

How amazing that after all the waiting, wishing, hoping, dreaming, and praying, that we are finally with our daughter and all the world seems right!!! We are so blessed to have a beautiful, happy, loving Angel to share our lives with. We can't wait to bring her home to share her with her brothers and sisters and all of our family and friends!

We love you Kaydee Anna Yi-Chun Christopherson!!

This poem is one that I have thought about since I first started planning to adopt a child. Now I can truly say that this is how my heart feels about Kaydee:

Not flesh of my flesh, nor bone of my bone. But, still miracuously my own!

My precious child, never forget for a single minute; you grew not under my heart but in it!
