2nd Referral-versary

babyblog1 Two years ago this past week, we received the call that would change our lives forever.  Our agency called to tell us that they wanted to talk to us about a baby girl. 

A few of hours later, we received an email filled with photos of the most beautiful baby girl that we had ever laid eyes on.  Seeing Emma's face for the very first time was one of the most powerful experiences of my life.  I will never forget that night.  She was teeny weeny itty bitty...barely five pounds...I loved her rosy cheeks and her lips...I could not wait to see her, to touch her, to hug and to kiss her...to be her mother.

The gift of Emma through the miracle of adoption...I pray that I will never take it for granted.  May God continue to knit our hearts together and may I be the mother that God has called me to be.

I love you Emma Grace.  You are special.  You are wanted.  You are precious.  You are loved.

God bless,

Tera
