15th Referral Day Anniversary

Fifteen years ago (June 6, 2007), Doug and I received the phone call that would change our lives forever. We had a baby girl waiting for us on the other side of the world. A few hours later, we saw Jiang Ai Juan's beautiful face that day in pictures for the first time. (She was around seven months old in her referral pictures, she was ten months at the time of referral, and we met her a few days before her 1st birthday.)

I honestly cannot believe it has been 15 years.

 Here are her referral pictures...

 Seeing her for the first time (our referral video is in the sidebar of the blog under "Travel and Referral")...
