Gracie

She is beautiful on the inside and out.

She has a huge heart and she is not afraid to love.

She is amazing. She is brave.

She might be little (had her dr. appt today and didn't even make it on the charts for height or weight!) but what she lacks in size, she makes up for in personality!

She wanted THIS. There is no doubt in my mind she wanted to be a part of a forever family. And she isn't letting the struggles take away from that desire.

She is easygoing and laid back.

She isn't afraid to try new things. And I love seeing her enjoy these things.

She takes my breath away.

She's only officially been a part of our family for 3 weeks, but it seems like it's been forever.

Our only "issue" really is language. And that will come.

I love this little girl with my whole heart and can't beleive how blessed I am to be her big sister.

You do know that you're the best big sister ever, right? :) I've been following your journey to Charlie & Grace and your story has touched me every step of the way. Grace is astounding. You are all blessed.

It is amazing to see isn't it. I'm so glad Gracie is doing so well. It's been three years since my daughter came home and she still blows me away everyday. I can't believe how blessed I am to have her in my life.
