I think that more birth parents need to know that adoption is such a great blessing and not some bail-out to get them out of responsibility. Adoption blesses bloth sides. The birth parents are able to move on with their lives and continue to reach the goals that had previously set before the pregnancy, and the adoptive couple is able to fulfill a life-long dream! Both sides take a lot of love to complete the adoption process. This makes the birth parents especially brave and considerate, regardless of what the world tells them.

Thoughts...

So, Brett and I are sitting here in the our hotel room in Branson, Mo taking a little mini-vacation during spring break. Meemaw (Brett's mom) is back at our house watching Austin for us.
Its been nice not having to chase a toddler, tame his tantrums, and pick him up every 5 minutes...but, by golly, I MISS HIM!!! I think about him every 30 seconds and wonder what he's doing, if he's having fun, and wondering how many times he's gone looking for me. My heart just yearns for his little embrace. My shoulder longs for his resting head. My cheek longs for the softness of his. I wonder how long I'm going to last. :)

On a lighter note...we're having family pictures taken by Jaren Froyk (soon to be Jaren Beavers) next Wednesday morning! I love taking pictures!!! I think it's so much fun. And this girl is an awesome photographer. Check out her blogsite.
Tina, my friend and the girl I teach dance for, uses her for our dance recital pictures. She's super sweet and great to work with. I'm really looking forward to our appointment.
So, check back soon because I may have some pictures posted...or at least a link to where you may see some. :D
