Every parent celebrates their child’s firsts: first birthday, first haircut, first words, first steps and first day of school. Photographer @stephsinclairpix and her husband, Bryan, are no different—except that as adoptive #parents, she writes for TIME, they've crammed years’ worth of firsts into the last 12 months. Just over a year ago, they officially became parents to Forest, then 7, and Lotus, who was 3 1/2. Both were born in China and raised in orphanages. They also both have #albinism, a rare genetic condition that manifests itself in a lack of pigment in the skin, hair and eyes. Forest and Lotus are therefore both legally blind. "As new parents to two young children from another country we anticipated a steep learning curve. From the language barrier to attachment issues, we knew adopting two young children at the same time would be tough," Sinclair writes. "Forest, however, gave his love freely, and happily made himself at home from day one, but Lotus made us work to earn her trust over many difficult months. In fact, she only fairly recently felt comfortable enough to allow herself to be ticklish. Much like my own #mother, Lotus is, and will likely always be, a spitfire—which I say with love because it’s a trait that will serve her well later in life. Watching her gradually become more comfortable and open herself up to the family has been an indescribably profound and beautiful experience."
