It is so lovely, unfolding day by day. Attachment. Something (I have come to realize) that is hard to describe to those outside the adoption-realm.
It is ongoing every day. Right now, with Tirfe, it's blossoming. With the boys, I know we work on this too. every. single. day. With Tirfe, it is amplified for everyone involved (especially our sweet girl).
She is so resilient. She is a survivor in more ways that I will ever understand. She is my teacher, my guide, my daughter. I am so humbled and grateful.
It is a feeling, a knowing, a presence that evolves. I didn't know what it would look like exactly, but I see it every day. I am embracing this beauty, my opportunity to be the Mother I want to be to my girl (and the Mother my girl needs me to be).
She is absolutely amazing. In every way. I want every dam that she has constructed to let go when it is ready. Because I am ready; and so very honored (and willing) to be able to share this life with her.

She is beautiful. That was beautiful. So happy you guys are together and preparing for the day when you fall into each other without thinking about it!
So very well said. Attachment is really an amazing and ethereal thing.
*great photos by the way- especially the top one. did you take that?! the light is so soft.
Attachment is amazing but it is so hard to quantify, it has been really beautiful to experience with Tirfe.
Mindy, we did take that photo, in Ethiopia on a cloudy day, it makes the light so diffuse!!
