On August 31, 2003, (nine years ago!), one very scared, confused and angry baby was placed into my arms. She was a wildcat of a thing and NOT happy about being stuck with us! That was a rough beginning for all of us, but praise God Grace grew to like us and us her! :) Now she has blossomed into a beautiful, energetic, creative, smart, happy, fun-loving, girl! Happy 9th Gotcha Day, Grace! We love you!

| Everyone watches as Grace is presented with her Gotcha Day gift - a fancy cloisonne butterfly barrette. The tradition in our family is that on Grace's and Promise's Gotcha Days, they get a gift from their homeland. I have a tub full of gifts for each of the girls (they wish they could go through those tubs!). |

| Grace saw this picture and decided she did not like her smile. She said she can't wait to get braces to help her have a beautiful smile! |
