Day 3

I am thankful for our eldest daughter Ainsley. Most children wait 9 months to meet their new siblings. Ainsley waited 3 years. She was 4 years old when we started our journey and has gone though countless delays and a complete change of where we were adopting from. When we switched to the China program, someone at school said to Ainsley, "I thought your sister was in Ethiopia." Her explanation sums it up perfectly....." Well, we thought she was in Ethiopia, but, it turns out she has been waiting for us in China the whole time. We just didn't know it!" She absolutely adores her sister and the feeling is mutual. I have never seen two little girls who get so excited to see each other when they have been apart, even if it is only for a short time.
