Adoption Recognition and Citizenship Ceremony

We received an invite to the lobby of our State Capitol building for a Special Children's Oath Ceremony. There were about 20 adopted children and their families there. I had tears in my eyes several times. I was just moved by the fact that Laney is actually home in the USA! We had photos taken with Uncle Sam, with local dignitaries and on the steps of the State Capitol. Laney looked so so so so beautiful! Our Governor proclaimed November 16, 2009 as ADOPTION RECOGNITION DAY! We received a program for the Adoption Recognition and Citizenship Ceremony and it all was so so so moving! Laney walked right up to a little girl also adopted from China and just laid a kiss on her - ohhhhhhhh that was the sweet kind of day we had.
