National Adoption Month

November is National Adoption Month. I get reflective this time of year. It is appropriate that National Adoption Month and Thanksgiving fall in the same month. I am so grateful for my children and the unique ways they came into our family. I'm thankful for the courage and compassion of all of our amazing birth parents. Some of you, we have standing or new relationships with and some of you watch from afar, but we know you are there. We feel your presence, all of you. We see you in so much of what we do and we think of you more often than you could know.

Rather than bore you with another long post, I will let the songs in these slideshows speak for me. Listen to the words and enjoy the beautiful music (and of course, my beautiful children)!

A little note to Gweny,
We love you, too. I know that, ironically, you may someday feel like the outsider because your brother and sister share this bond of being adopted. But just remember that I firmly believe that before we came to this earth, we were a family. We were there together. Now, we are here on earth together, some of us just had to take a little detour to get to the right place!
