I will wait here for you all my life.

Dear Maddy:
Today marks 10 years since we met you -- our sweet and only daughter
in the busy city of Guangzhou, People's Republic of China.
in the busy city of Guangzhou, People's Republic of China.
All of the girls in our travel group had been on the bus for a couple of hours traveling
from the small city of Wuchuan in Southern China.
You were so very quiet and sucked furiously on two of your little fingers.
As excited as we were to meet you and welcome you to our family,
it was another big change in your little life.

| Finally home -- and battling ear infections, skin rash and jet lag! |
You were only 14 months old when we met you, and
had been through so many disruptions and changes already.
Even so, you opened you heart and trusted us to take care of you forever.
Your amazing strength, sweet nature and beautiful smile
warm my heart every single day.
We are most certainly the lucky ones to be able to love you forever.

We are so proud of the beautiful girl you are becoming --
a sweet and caring friend,
a good student always thoughtful and respectful.
We are so blessed
- to know you is to love you!
Love you always sweetie!!!
