Adoption Moment

Last night Mia got into our bed at some point during the storm.  I woke up to a little heating pad next to me.  She puts off the heat!  In my walk to carry her back to her room I ran into the furniture, then the wall, then her door....I looked down into her beautiful sleeping face in the glow from the night light...and thought:

"What if we didn't go to China to get her...she would be sleeping in a room with about 30 other little girls right now in an orphanage. She wouldn't have a mommy's bed to crawl into if she got scared.  And she wouldn't have a mommy who runs her into the walls when carrying her in the dark either!  I smiled and kissed her beautiful little face, and I thanked God for giving us Mia.  We are blessed to call her our daughter.
