This is Adam on the day he was born. He is the most beautiful and precious gift that we have ever recieved. We wouldn't be a family without his beautiful birthmother D.
Earlier this week we sent D a little package consisting of Adam's favorite treats, some new photos, a beautiful tile necklace with Adam's photo on it, a fresh batch of cookies (not pictured because they were still in the oven baking :D), a drawing and a Mother's Day card.
We love you D!
Here are some pictures of our day, in random order:
Adam and Clayton running a lap around the track in honor of our birthmother.
I took this picture (above) and burst into tears...If you cant read it very well, at the top of the sign it says "I am here in memory of...our future birthmom"
I remember being the couple at the activities with no children yet, just waiting and hoping and praying that we would be chosen soon. Even though we've been waiting for over 8 months this second time around, (and its not easy...) we already have a little blessing in our lives to lessen the pain of waiting. My heart goes out to all of the childless couples that are yearning for a little one to love.
There were a few relay races and Clayton (right behind Cosmo the Cougar) was a little upset that Cosmo cleary cheated and took off running before the race began..lol
Our wonderful neighbors also adopted their children and we love that they live across the street from us. This is Clayton with Brandon and the kids.
Adam and Logan
Me and my girly friends :) Love you girls!
I love this image..

This is Emily, a beautiful birthmother that I met through my volunteer work with the FSA. This is her precious 8 week old daughter that she recently placed with a family.

Adam was beyond thrilled to see Cosmo the Cougar. He followed Cosmo around until Cosmo finally just picked him up and carried him everywhere. Thanks Cosmo for being such a good sport with your #1 fan!

Awe..precious!

Such a sweet moment..

Because of our sweet D, I get to be mommy to this little angel and celebrate Mother's Day tomorrow. How do I ever say thank you? Let me count the ways....

Angie, I didn't realize you were allowing comments! I just happened to click over. Have a beautiful Mother's Day!
What a cute post! I loved your pictures. You are such a cute mom and I love reading about all your fun adventures with Adam and Clayton. How fitting for Birthmother's day to be the day before Mother's Day. I love it. Happy Mother's Day! Love you!!!
Thanks for sharing! Happy mother's day to you!!! We need to plan another photo shoot of your handsome little fellow:)
Hi! I honestly don't remember how I came across your blog, but I've been following it for a few weeks now. And I went to this event this morning! I actually recognized your little boy, but I didn't say anything to you. It felt stalker-ish. Ha ha. I'm actually in the background of one of your pictures (the one where he's running with the blue balloon), walking with a friend. It was a fun event and I think it will be even better once I adopt. It's so nice to have such a large community of people supporting adoption. :)
Alice! I wish you would have come up and introduced yourself! I had a couple of people that came over and said they recongized us from this blog :)
Next time don't hesistate, we need to stick together!
My husband and I actually picked out the SAME mother's day card for the woman who we are matched with. (trying to be PC without calling her a birthmother, YET)
Beautiful post, and beautiful family!!!
What a lovely post. I wish we did things like this in NZ. I had a lovely mothers day even though I was sick, and wondered how our 2 birthmothers were feeling. We have lost contact with them. It breaks my heart.
@Angie - I know! I know! I will next time! :)
Beautiful photo's Angie!
