Mother's Day

On Mother's Day,

I'm thankful for my mother.  Strong, humble, constant.

I'm thankful for my husband's mother, who raised a super-guy.

I'm thankful for the many grandmothers my husband and I have been blessed with---some biologically ours, some through un-official adoption.

I'm thankful for all the women who have recently adopted or who are waiting to adopt or adoption is growing in their hearts.   I can't wait to see what happens next! 

I'm thankful for my children's birth mothers:   they chose life, they chose us, the still choose love.

And I'm most thankful for the honor of raising my children:  Miss E, Baby E, and Baby Z.   Our journey has been incredible and nothing short of a miracle.


Dear reader,

May your Mother's Day bring forth joy, reflection, peace, and maybe some chocolate.  ;)
