Alyssa in her orphanage

Below are 2 pictures of Alyssa when she lived at the Fenghuangyuan Orphanage. She is about 11 months old in the first picture and 14 months old in the second one.

Alyssa is in the front on the right side, not looking too happy. (Not the child with the circle)

This is 5 months before we adopted Alyssa

Alyssa is in the pink sweater on the right (eating a cracker). This was taken about 1 month before we had our "gotcha day" and she was finally in our arms!

This is Alyssa during the summer of 2005. She had been with us for 6 months.

Alyssa with Caleb and Dylan - one year after her adoption.

Alyssa with Caleb and Dylan just a couple of weeks ago - 2.5 years after her adoption. Yep, she is definitely perfect for our family!
