I forget how I stumbled across your blog... but I'm a fellow adoptive parent/blogger too. And I couldn't agree more about how GREAT the holidays are this year! (Our daughter came home from Vietnam in May of this year.) Happy holidays!MSChazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15487747921681803030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16279318.post-83459070608296092672009-12-17T04:18:57.398-08:002009-12-17T04:18:57.398-08:00Yep, right there with you!

But like with Norah, no words were necesarry for Jazzie to find friends. Of course now Jazzie's speech is so well that she NEVER stops talking :-)<br /><br />It will take time and a lot of hard work on Norah's part, but if she is anything like Jazzie, she will become a chatterbox. It's the most beautiful thing in the world...Sandrahttp://jazzieandtahlia.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.com
