I have decided to participate in the very first blog hop using Mcklinky because it sounded so exciting. It actually reminded me of childhood memories when we used to have block parties in our neighborhood. All the neighbors would gather for hours swapping stories while hosting a very large BBQ. And all of the kids would have tons of fun playing together. This weeks theme is INTRODUCE YOUR BLOG so here goes... My husband and I started our blog to document our journey to adopt our miracle, Halainah Grace from China. We were able to capture every mountain that appeared in our way and witness God's miraculous power as he moved every mountain to give us our miracle. We were also able to capture all of our thoughts and emotions that were going through our minds the very first moment we first saw our daughter's beautiful face while we were on our journey of a lifetime. All of our friends and family were able to travel to China with us through our blog. We named our blog Life After 18 Seconds because Statistically every 18 seconds a child is orphaned in this world. On the 19th second is where our story begins so welcome to our life, Life After 18 seconds. We are continuing our blog as a tribute to our daughter so that one day when she can read this she will know how much she was loved way before we ever met her. We also just begun our journey to Halainah's mei mei (little sister). So you can follow us all the way to China again for our second miracle.

I look forward to reading more of your journey - adoption is such a special event and, while I'm not able to adopt, I love reading the stories of others who do... and your halainah is just beautiful!
Take care and have a great weekend!
