'Unconditional Love' commemorates Gotcha Day for our daughter

By TERRY R. CASSREINO

PEARL RIVER, La. (Wednesday, Sept. 9, 2009, 5:30 a.m.) - I have been wanting to post this video for a while, but have never been able to find a good program to convert my video file tyo a flash video.

Tonight, however, I downloaded the free Riva FLV Encoder 2.0 and successfully converted my video to flash and then uploaded it to my channel at You Tube. Then I posted it here at my blog.

A little background: I made this video slide show in April 2007, in time to mark the first anniversary of the day we got Camryn, our daughter, in China. Since we got her two days before she turned 1, this also commemorates her second birthday.

I haven't yet created a similar video for our son, Matthew. I plan to start work on something similar in the next few weeks and have it ready in time for the first anniversary of his Gotcha Day in December 2009.

At any rate, I hope you enjoy this video. Let me know what you think.

  1. I heard of Gotcha Day on a television sitcom, so I did not think that it was a real celebration. Very interesting.

    I love your video. Besides offering a personal story and an inspiration to other couples who would like to adopt, the video is an exceptional example of digital storytelling. I just completed my first attempts at the medium. Who knew the perfect example was right here on your blog? Thanks, Terry! And, God bless your family. Keeping you in my prayers.
