Photo Post

In anticipation of telling and re-telling our future child's adoption story, I've been taking lots of pictures of our journey along the way. I don't have a growing belly to capture in photos, but I do have a growing mountain of letters, cards, and gifts! In pictures, our adoption so far:

The first "public" step: putting together our adoption announcement and fundraising letter.



And addressing them all! A labour of love.





We had a little "this is really happening!" moment of glee at the mailbox. We each put half the letters in. Camera phone + clouds = blurry picture, but you get the idea.



First gifts for our child! I got to open them on my birthday which was great fun. A stuffed elephant from Tante Annette, a dear family friend and this beautiful quilt, lovingly made by a former neighbor Rhonda (who incidentally taught both my sister and my mom to quilt!). I can't wait to see him cuddle with the elephant snuggled up under this quilt. Be still my heart! :)



We LOVE reading all the cards and words of encouragement through email or comments. We are saving all the cards in a box to show to our child someday!
