Here is my girl in her new Samoan dress. Our friends came to visit from Utah and brought it for her. Whenever I see her like this, I am amazed at how beautiful she is, and I suddenly remember where she comes from. She is ours, she is our family, our daughter, but then she puts on this dress, and there is this quality, something that is different, something we don't have, that she has. I guess that's adoption. As Ponyo's mother says, "The world is a strange and wonderful place." Or something like that. I never remember the exact quote, but I agree with it. The world is a strange and wonderful place, and people are complicated and amazing. I'm glad we are who we are.
