the gift of life...nothing finer..

Best Wishes to this family...I know the feelings they are going through, my husband and I adopted a baby, oh so many years ago...what a wonderful gift he still is today, and it has been 37 years!!!
we too felt like he belonged to us as soon as we laid eyes on him, our baby was only 7 weeks old. He just called us about an hour ago to check up on us, as he says...He has never disappointed us in any way, once again I told him “Thanks son for coming into our lives”, his answer...”my pleasure Mom Thank You”
when he was 3 years old, a daughter was born to us after 14 years of marriage, I think God was rewarding us, he saw us so HAPPY....

TREASURE YOUR GIFTS, THEY GROW UP SO FAST....
I’m a grateful MOM

Thank you for posting this!!! I am half-adopted (by my mother's husband) and an adoptive parent. We brought my daughter home when she was only 4 days old. Her biological grandmother placed her in my arms and asked me to love her as my own ... how could I not! Today she is 22. She is the greatest gift God has given me!

I have friends who adopted a young boy from Romania. Sadly, the adoptive mother died from breast cancer and her husband was left to raise the boy alone. She gave her son a big hug, kiss and 'I love you" just before she died. He has never forgotten those words.
