Made For Each Other

I've often said Bella was "made" for us. I'm very aware that adoption stems from grief and loss; however, it is a miracle how families come together out of this grief and loss. I feel the same about Shawn too. He's not here yet, but he was "made" for us...and his big sister.

Several people have commented that they resemble each other, we agree too. (And NO, we do not think all Asian look alike.). Could this be a "sign" that they were made to be sister and brother? I don't know, but the resemblence is there.

I present exhibit A:


Isabella Ziyu Smith, 6 months

I present exhibit B:


Shawn Xinyu Smith, 6-8 months

Chubby cheeks, rosebud lips, big brown eyes and hair challenged. :) Made for each other? Maybe so. I do know we have been greatly set up for the inevitable question, "Are they real brother and sister?".

    LOVE it, and my comment would be "yes they are real brother and sister, because they are"

    To which you answer, "Yes, absolutely, they are REAL brother and sister!" Just because they are adopted does not make their relationship any more real, than if they had come from the same womb. Love seeing your updates and am so happy for you, Brian and Bella!!!!
