One of my personal heroes!



This is Nathan and his awesome, beautiful birthmom.  We were able to see her in November when we went to visit some of my family for Thanksgiving.  She made Nathan the cutest baseball bank, and we finally coaxed Nathan into painting a little tray for her.  He mostly just wanted to suck water off the paintbrush!  Haha!   It was so wonderful to see her again and feel that wonderful connection that we share.  There is no way to explain the amazing love we feel for her!  Thanks D. for a special memory to cherish!  We love you!

  3. That is soooo neat Julie! Just looking at the pictures made my heart race and eyes fill with tears. What a special girl. I read the article in the Feb. ensign on adoption and loved it, it really opened my eyes more. Nathan is so cute!

  4. Wow, Julie, that is so wonderful! My sister is a bmom, and I can just imagine what it would be like for her to have an open adoption like that. You are a wonderful woman to be able to share everything like that - what a great blessing for everyone involved. Thanks for sharing this precious experience. Hugs!
