Our yougest daughter turned 15 today.

Happy Birthday Lindsey!
We married at 30 and 34 respectively. Have a 23 year old older daughter. Went through a miscarriage. But as luck would have it decided to China adopt back in 1999. Reams of paperwork later, reams of questions, followed her dossier in the mail one day.
Juan Je Yie and unsmiling sourpuss of a little girl. Found 09-12-2001. Contracted pneumonia in orphanage and was placed in home with foster grand parents. The only one sleeping of the group we traveled with back in December 2002.
Who bonded with me before ANYONE in the family, thereby shutting down MY 13 day China vacation I thought I was going to get.
The tantrums, the trials. The drama of grade school. And now a HS Frosh, who made Cheer squad just like her big sis.
Who I DONT know what my life would be without her.
Who has aspires the theatre.
You go LINZ!
