I'm just having my moment right now. I don't know if I should blame it on a bad day, hormones, or just my adoption opinionated mind but I need a moment to vent. I just watched one of the saddest movies I have ever seen. Let me just take a moment to briefly give a summary of what I just watched. The movie started out with me crying off the bat. The opening was a 16 year old girl crying out in pain and agony delivering a baby girl. It instantly took me back to the hospital of all the pain I went through for Noahs birth. (Pain I would go through again in a heart beat for him) The father of the baby left the mother and her newborn at the hospital for this new teen mom to raise her baby by herself. The movie went on with the teen mom blaming her newborn for ruining her life and selfishly not taking care of her the way she should be. There was constant screaming in the house between the teen mom and her mother and all I could feel was so much sadness and pain for this little newborn

Dear _______,                I’ve been thinking a lot abut you lately. Wondering what you’re up to, what you're doing right this very second. Will I just know you're the one, or will it take some time to warm up to each other? Have I met you yet? Are you as excited as I am to spend the rest of eternity together only wanting to bring each other happiness? I don’t know about you, but I am so  excited to spend the rest of eternity with you!

I think a lot about how you're going to handle my past. You must be someone who really understands the atonement and that is what I love most about you. You don’t love me despite me already have had a child but you love me because of my story. You recognize that although I have sinned, I have been also

Oh my goodness, Noah is 7 months old today! Time is going so fast, but I absolute love seeing how much he has grown up. I feel so thankful for the Danielsons for letting me be a part of his life. I truly am so happy we found eachother. Turns out I needed them as much as they needed me. We have blessed eachothers lives in a way no one on earth will be able to. We have given eachother the greatest joys in the world. That is why I love adoption so much. It truly is amazing. Noah is such a special and sweet little boy. His sweetness just radiates off of him. He is perfection in my eyes! I know that no matter what, my love will never diminish even in the slightest amount. I only want the absolute best for him, and I feel so grateful and happy that he has that! He couldn't be happier in his home and with his family and that brings my heart so  much joy. He is officially sitting up, eating food, and has a couple teeth. It's so amazing to see him becoming this little person who is abl
