The Faces of Adoption

November is National Adoption Month and something we are excited to celebrate in our home! Adoption holds a very special place in our hearts and it's something we have been eternally blessed by. We will be grateful every single day for the birthmothers and birthfathers that are so brave and strong and have changed our lives forever.
We love you Christina. We love you Flora. We love you Tyler.

We are surrounded by adoption in our family which is all the more exciting and we thought it might be fun to show you just how much...

We adopted Preslie in 2008 and were thrilled!

We adopted Adalynn in 2010 and were thrilled!

My mom was adopted from Germany. She says, "It's Heaven Sent! It's such a blessing for both sides of an adoption."

My Sister-in-law, Jenny is adopted.

She says, "Being a mother has made me so much more grateful for my own birthmother."

My nephew Gabe is adopted.

My sister said, "Adoption is one of the most amazing opportunities I have ever had in my life. What a lucky mom I am!"

My sister placed a baby for adoption 8 years ago who we love and still have contact with.

My sister says, "Every side of adoption comes down to love. When a child is placed or adopted there is an extreme amount of love that is involved and that is given to that child. It takes special people with Christ-like hearts to be involved with all sides of adoption."

3 of my cousins were adopted from Mexico.

My aunt and uncle are adopted.

We are also surrounded by many, many friends who have been blessed by adoption too!

We are so grateful to be surrounded by the sweet blessings of adoption and feel so grateful to Heavenly Father for blessing our family through adoption!
