Valentine's day thoughts



As any holiday approaches, we dream of what it will be like with a little one..

We dream of the small things we want to be doing with our son or daughter.  We have been dreaming of the heart shaped cookies we would bake, the Valentines we'd make, the outfits we would dress our little one in, and much more. Thinking of all these different things we wish we were doing is heavy on our heart, but we do keep reminding ourselves that without this journey, we may not have appreciated the little things we are going to appreciate when we have our son or daughter. We will never take one moment for granted. We pray every night for the chance to become parents and we look forward to every cry and every sleepless night we have in our future! 

We wanted to express how much we already love our future child and our future child's birth family. These are people we haven't met, but we think about every day and can not wait to meet! 

I was sitting on the couch thinking about how we could express our love for these special people we have never met..and I am not sure how it came to me, but I thought about how we are searching for someone we already love. That is where we came up with a heart with a piece of it missing. I anxiously called my sister's friend who is a photographer (BeeGee Photography) and asked her if she could do a photo shoot the next day! She said yes ..so I ran to the store to buy some paint and drew the heart on some cardboard. Jordan cut it out and painted it and voila!- we had the perfect symbol to represent how we were feeling. 

It was too cold out for our pup, so he only got to be in some of the pictures. He mostly stayed in the warm car! As we were taking these photos, an elderly couple walked by hand-in-hand and saw our sign that read "We can't wait to adopt!" They glanced at it and then immediately turned around to tell us how their three kids were adopted and now they have grandchildren. They were so proud and I immediately pictured that being us in the future. Oh, how we hope that is us one day! 

So we ask you - and anyone that comes across our blog - please share our story and share our pictures! Don't forget to ask your friends to share too. We are so blessed to have such a strong following, and so many people that are rooting for us!

  2. I am praying for your missing piece to be born and placed in your waiting arms. My husband & I were blessed in December 2011 with girl & boy twins, they were born via C-section while I held our birth~mother's hand. Dreams do come true, you guys look like an amazing couple and I wish you happiness and joy!
