Oh. My goodness.
ReplyDeleteI am going to go watch it again. And maybe a third time.
So beautiful.
Thank you for the happy tears.
ReplyDeleteWe know several families who have decided to complete their families via adoption, and it has really inspired us to consider doing that one day, too. Love the photos and I really love her tattoo.

ReplyDeletethat story was incredibly wonderful, so moving. their family, in may's words + in pictures, is happy + beautiful. thank you for sharing it.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing such a beautiful adoption story. As an adoptive mom I love the stories that make adoption "normal". There is no drama. No she's different than we are. There is love and the normal family things. I, too, have adopted transracially and forget that my girls don't look like me. They just fit in and are our family. I encourage everyone to consider adoption if that is where your heart leads. Everyone is blessed in the equation.
