Today was such a special day and one that Erick and I will never ever forget. This morning we met with Natasha and her mom and our fabulous case worker, Hannah. Natasha signed the adoption paper work and we officially became a family of 4!
There are no words to describe the emotions we felt this morning, watching an incredibly brave and selfless girl take such a giant leap of courage. I just bawled as she signed each line, thinking about how much she loves Pyper and how she wants what is best for her. I can't begin to imagine how hard this day has been for her. Natasha will forever be a hero to our family. She has helped us to grow our family and we love her so so much!
Yesterday was one of our favorite memories with Natasha. We played with Pypers hair and all the bows and flowers I made her, and we took a million pics! These are just a few of my favs.
This one is the perfect expression of love!
Awwww....So Cute!
These are our two KIDDOS today, all buckled up and ready for the drive home.
This was just after our Placement Ceremony.
Hannah, we just love you and are so glad you could be a part of the whole thing. Thanks again for everything!
We love you Natasha!
Our little family has grown so fast! From 2 to 4 in just 7 months!
This is just a cute pic of our little Pyper.
Tonight we took a walk with our DOUBLE STROLLER. It was heaven. It really made me contemplate every tender mercy and blessing from my Heavenly Father. For the last entire year, and even longer, He has been preparing the way for this adoption to take place. He has been intricately involved in the details of our lives. He has blessed us and shown us in so many ways how He loves us. My heart is full. My prayers have been answered. My testimony has been strengthened. In such sweet ways I understand sacrifice and love in deeper and more personal ways. I have witnessed Charity, the pure love of God, as the sweetest girl chose adoption for her baby girl. The trust I feel in my Father in Heaven is deep and unwavering. So many times in life things don't work out the way we think they should or want them to, but I know, that God has a beautiful plan for each of our lives. We just need to trust in Him, and He will show us the way.
