Annalise's Red Thread Story

Here it is the public version of Annalise's Read Thread Story. The only difference with his version is how it starts. I put her birth parent’s letter in the original version but will leave it up to her someday if she chooses to share the letter publicly. I’m sure you understand. Torrie did an incredible job documenting the letters we received she really brought them to life as well as bringing our entire journey together. I can’t tell you how many times I have watched this video with Annalise. She loves her movie and enjoys seeing her Mama on referral day, her Lucy doll on the great wall and gets so excited when we are on our way to go get Annalise the star of the movie and she appears from behind the curtain. She feels sad for little Chu Chu on Gotcha Day when she is crying and can mimic her own wine. I think her memory of Gotcha Day is much stronger then I originally thought it was. I find it interesting that she does not seem to recognize her Shenzhen HTS Grandma who is the one holding her on Gotcha Day. That memory may have slipped away as she began to bond with me and embrace her new life. I was a bit worried that watching the video may stir up some unsettling emotions in Annalise but instead I think it is helping her process everything that has happened in the last 10 months. Most of all I hope this video helps her to know that she will be loved forever and ever by her Mama and her new family.
