then and now

In celebration of November's National Adoption Month, I'm sharing the first pictures we saw of our children and as they are today. We became parents once in the middle of the night by opening an email and then again with a phone call with photos following. I'm so happy we found each other, kids!

"By adopting a child and helping them reach their potential, they help us reach ours. An adopted child is not an unwanted child; to the contrary. They are a child who was searched for, prayed for, cried for, begged for; received by arms that ached, making empty hearts full. Love is meant to be shared." - Author unknown
