I have tears in my eyes looking at the pictures of sweet Sydney in her Momma's arms. Doesn't forever feel good.

and HAPPY BIRTHDAY, sweet baby Sydney---a little early. ;)
okay--one more---i LOVE the pic of Alan and Sydney, with her head on his chest. The look on his face says it all.
Awww, I love the pics. Don't worry, the bonding with you WILL come. Just keep trying. Congrats on your forever family.
