We have been BLESSED to get photos of all of our adopted children from their younger years. We have multiple photos of all 3 of our boys, so I was very excited to receive some photos of Annikah from her time in the baby orphanage too! .
This was the photo that was originally in her file when she was registered for international adoption in October 2008:
I received this photo from that same day with her baby photos. She was a tiny little thing back then! 
This one is one of my favorites:
I bought one of those red animals in Bulgaria and brought it home. Annikah LOVES that thing! (as do many of my other children)
Here are some more: 
This one caused a big ole reaction from my girls: 
”Mommy, is she playing with SCISSORS???”
I assured them that someone took them away from her right after the photo was taken (surely they did, right? lol).
There are several more, but those are my favorites. We also received a beautiful tiny cross necklace that was taped to one of the photos. I’m assuming that she was baptized. I honestly don’t know and the director had no idea either since it came from the baby orphanage.
Just in case some of you have forgotten (or joined us mid-journey), this is the updated referral photo from her file AFTER she was transferred to the institution:
