School's out for Summer!

We went to visit Daddy today on the last day for students. He wanted to show me off to his co-workers. Man, did they love me! Ha ha!

Here I am, on top of the world!

And this video just proves, that my Daddy is just a BIG KID!!!

I'm so excited to get to spend more time with him this summer, he's the best!

Mira*cle

This has been the most wonderful day, full of tears of joy, family, great food, and of course, the most wonderful gift from God. My heart weighs heavy for my many friends who are still waiting for the opportunity to celebrate this holiday. Just because I am no longer in their shoes, doesn't mean I will ever forget what this holiday used to feel like. It was the 1 day every year for the last 4 and a half years that I wanted to pull the covers over my head and stay in bed until it was over. I will never forget. I will continue praying for my dear friends who have so much love to give, and would give anything for a tiny miracle to give it to. I continue to pray for the sweet, wonderful girl who loved unconditionally and gave life to our Mira*cle and placed her in my arms, giving me the most amazing gift and the opportunity to celebrate this holiday. I will never forget.

5 months!

Everyday holds the possibility of a Mira*cle!

Finally caught this on video!

Best way......

to start the day!

Priceless!

An Openly Adopted Child's Legacy

Once there were two expectant mothers.
One carried and cared for you beneath her beating heart
She became your Birthmother.
The other carried the hope of you within her.
She became your Mom.

As the days passed, and you grew bigger and stronger,
Your Birthmother knew that she could not give you all you needed after your birth.
Meanwhile, your Mom was ready and waiting for you.

One day your Birthmom and your Mom found each other.

They looked into each other’s eyes and saw a friend.
Your Birthmom saw the life your Mom could give you.
Your Mom saw how much your Birthmom loved and cared for you.

They decided that what you needed was both kinds of love in your life.

So now you have two families,
One by birth, the other by adoption.

And you have a home where you can get:
your questions answered,
your boo boos bandaged,
your heartaches soothed,
And much needed hugs.

And a place where you can find:
answers to your questions,
your image in the mirror,
a part of yourself,
And much needed hugs.

Two different kinds of families
Two different kinds of love
Both a part of you.
