We got back from Seoul, South Korea with Lily two years ago today. I had butterflies in my stomach when I stepped off the airplane. I was so anxious for Lily to meet her brother and sisters. It is a day I will always cherish. I cried so many happy tears!
My sister, Alisia was there to capture the moment and I still can't look at the pictures without getting a lump in my throat.
Everyone that came to the airport to meet Lily fell in love with her. She loved being the center of attention and was such an adorable little show off! She entertained everyone by smiling, clapping her hands, sticking out her tongue, and blowing bubbles. I held her close and thanked God for blessing our family with her. Our beautiful daughter. Our long awaited dream come true.
wow. what a sweet thing to share~!

beautiful photos. that first one almost made me tear up. I am adopted from Seoul, Korea, too, and we celebrated my "homecoming" each year. Just another way to make a little one feel special ;) xo amy

Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment! I love reading them:)
Amy,
That's awesome! I would love to hear your adoption story! We celebrated Lily's homecoming this year for the first time. We called it 'Lily Day.' We made a Korean meal and got Korean candy at the market. We enjoyed it so much, we will definitely do it again next year!

I saw one of your images on Pinterest and followed it here. As a photographer let me say your images of your family and home are inspiring. As a mother I have always dreamed of adopting a girl from Korea ( funny how we get such specific /random desires) and in my dreams I always call her Lily! I have gone through your blog with tears running down my face. My youngest is 12 , I thought I had let that dream go.. now I am not so sure.

this so reminds me of my husband and I bringing home our daughter Ruby. Adoption a gift, a blessing and a promise for the making of a family. thank you for your beautiful inspirational photos telling your story!!
