Adam Di Di and Sarah



Thursday was a truly amazing day. It has been so long since we first started hearing of "Di Di" in China. It was longer still before we had a face to put to the name. When Sarah came home in December 2006 she talked about all of her friends in China who needed mommy's and daddy's. One day in particular, not long after returning home, Sarah jumped into Daddy's arms and said, "Daddy, Di Di is crying for you!" With this and more we slowly learned about a little boy who Sarah called Di Di, meaning Little Brother. Sarah stayed dedicated to her Di Di and the cause for finding him a family. Di Di, now Adam, was adopted by a family who lives just 45 minutes away from us!! Thursday was the amazing day of Sarah and Adam's reunion. It was unlike what I could have imagined. Adam is the sweetest, cutest, most precious little boy of all time. I am absolutely in love with him! He is such a sweetheart and it is easy to see how much he adores his mommy! And did I mention how cute he is? Wow!! He is one handsome, good-looking little boy! And he is so smiley! I think he smiled the whole time-such a sweetheart! The reunion between the two of them was just perfect! Sarah was thrilled to finally see her Di Di again!! It blew me away to see the two of them together again... it is a miracle! Before we left Sarah insisted on wearing a dress. We tried, unsuccessfully, to convince her that perhaps a dress was not the best choice to play in, but she really wanted to wear it! She also had to wear her hair down and long, so that her Di Di could see it! Sarah had been talking for a while about what she was going to do with "baby Di Di" and one of the first things on her list was to feed him. And she kept this true too when she fed him french fries! Truly, seeing Sarah reunited with her best friend is just amazing! I know we will all be seeing each other much more! It is through God's grace for this miracle of Sarah and Adam's reunion!!
