"I wanna have friends that I can trust, that love me for the man I’ve become not the man I was. I wanna have friends that will let me be all alone when being alone is all that I need. I wanna fit in to the perfect space, feel natural and safe in a volatile place."

Lovin' My Kiddos

On this Mother's Day weekend my heart is bursting with love for Elsa and Ashagre.  As our 3 month family anniversary sits on the horizon, I feel like we've started to really find our groove (I can't wait to see how things feel at 6 months or 1 year).  A & E continue to open up, grow, and share more of themselves with us and it feels SO good.

I am also learning that as an adoptive momma Mother's Day is overshadowed by a bittersweet sense of gratefulness for the kids' first moms.  This weekend I hold these two women close to my heart.  I truly wish that they were standing in my shoes basking in the radiance of two amazing smiles - even if it meant that I couldn't be.
