Your daughter is learning this awesomeness from you! You do so much good but the best work you are doing is TRULY within the walls of your own home. This post is a testament of that. The work you do there inspires and empowers me to do the same caliber of work in my own home. Thanks for being so willing to share the power that comes through the divine power of motherhood! So many lives have been touched and inspired.Katie Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01974782475849416336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4421893586033340825.post-21564595758055364202014-04-30T19:27:36.275-07:002014-04-30T19:27:36.275-07:00so beautiful!

Your daughter and all those sweet girls are absolutely exceptional young women. Words fail me. I have two adopted daughters from China as well, and I know how much it means to have your daughter find a circle of friends to love and accept her, despite superficial differences. Blessings to your daughter. And blessings to you for raising such a fine young woman.Christine Hall Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15651115227404615101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4421893586033340825.post-50745804840014804492014-04-29T10:21:53.416-07:002014-04-29T10:21:53.416-07:00Hi, I am Lia's oldest sister.

I am beyond grateful that Lia had been welcomed so warmly into this sweet group of friends. Please tell your daughter thank you from me. My family and I live all the way on the other side of the country and I miss my adoptive siblings so very much. I can't express how much it means to me that they are being loved and celebrated in such a beautiful way. I can't wait until my daughters get home from school today so that I can share this with them.
