Tell me again of the night I was born...

Last sunday I visited with a birthmom. Cute girl lives in my ward and I was invited to visit with her for the month.

She is amazing! Beautiful, healthy, encouraging, loving.

I met her for the first time and in the first few minutes her mom asked if we could see her book? She beamed! And ran up to her room to get it.

This is a book that her adoptive family made for her.

You can tell this is one of her most precious possessions.

It was one of those picture books made from shutterfly or something like that...

But the adoptive family had placed pictures of their sweet baby girl and their cute family - and the words in the book were from this children's story book:

I am so grateful that I got to visit with her and that she is doing so well. As an adoptive couple I know there is a lot of quesitons and feelings about openness. And I was happy to see someone I know healed and happy and thriving. It brought peace to my heart.

Of course I can't wait to do the same for our sweet angel birthmom.

Props out to her adoptive family...such a cute idea!

love, mel
