But Christmas came and went and that ornament never made it onto our tree. Instead, it remained tucked away in a special drawer, and each Christmas its absence reminded me that someone very special was missing from our lives.
Earlier this year our daughter finally came home, and this afternoon this very special ornament was carefully unwrapped, personalized and hung on our tree for the very first time.
This ornament will always hold a special place in my heart because of the story it has to tell. It's an amazing story of how God took our family on a six year journey to bring our family together through the blessing of adoption, and how God truly does cause all things to work together for good to those who love Him. (Romans 8:28)

What an incredible story. I am so happy that this is the year that you can put it on your tree, and I love the 'meaning' behind it.
Thank you so much for sharing and for reminding us of God's goodness! :)
Love it! Thanks for sharing this part of your journey with us!
I love this ornament and I love that you were finally able to put it on your tree. I am impressed you were able to hang on to it for so long ( I would've misplaced it).
