How wonderful to see you all together! I'm sure Allison will adjust in time and that she will truly be grateful to have a sister her own age! What an answer to prayer! I loved reading your post. I remember the Civil Affairs Office SO well there. See you soon!
Thanks for posting the photo! I can understand how Alison must feel. She's had you both all to herself for 2 years. I pray she will soon see that there is enough love for both of them. God bless you all!
Congratulations Crooks Family! Emma is a daughter, God is good!
So happy to hear that Emma came smiling, and has continued to smile. I can't imagine how much her life has been changed--in a single moment, but it sounds as though she is thriving in it! Praying for Allison as she adjusts to sharing her mom and dad with her new sister. It looks like you are off to a really good start.
Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us!
Oh Emma is beautiful... So sweet to finally see both girls together! You know this is going to be really good for Alison even though she doesnt know it yet. She will soon realize that you both have enough love for ALL of your kids. I bet you are so happy that Emma likes affection and hand holding! Cant wait to see/read more about your trip. The Stephens
God placed a burden on my heart (Brenda) in 2006 to adopt a girl from China. Thus began a journey to serve ophans. After two trips to play with ophans in China (2006 & 2007), we adopted Alison in January 2008. We are on another journey to bring another child into our home and into our hearts.
