The Story of Us: Waiting...

Miracle

You're my life's one miracle
Everything I've done that's good
And you break my heart with tenderness
And I confess it's true
I never knew a love like this 'til you
You're the reason I was born
Now I finally know for sure
And I'm overwhelmed with happiness
So blessed to hold you close
The one that I love most
Though the future has so much for you in store
Who could ever love you more
The nearest thing to heaven
You're my angel from above
Only God creates such perfect love
When you smile AT me I cry
And to save your life I'd die
With a romance that is pure in heart
You are my dearest part
Whatever it requires
I live for your desires
Forget my own, your needs will come before
Who could ever love you more
There is nothing you could ever do
To make me stop loving you
And every breath I take
Is always for your sake
You sleep inside my dreams
And know for sure
Who could ever love you more

A Mother's Prayer

I pray you'll be my eyes
And watch her where she goes
And help her to be wise
Help me to let go
Every mother's prayer
Every child knows
Lead her to a place
Guide her with your grace
To a place where she'll be safe
I pray she finds your light
And holds it in her heart
As darkness falls each night
Remind her where you are
Every mother's prayer
Every child knows
Need to find a place
Guide her with your grace
Give her faith so she'll be safe
Lead her to a place
Guide her with your grace
To a place where she'll be safe

A Tale of Two Mothers

Once there were two women who never knew each other.One you do not remember, the other you call Mother.
Two different lives shaped to make you one.One became your guiding star, the other became your sun.

The first one gave you life, and the second taught you to live it.The first gave you a need for love. The second was there to give it.
One gave you a nationality. The other gave you a name.One gave you a talent. The other gave you aim.
One gave you emotions. The other calmed your fears.One saw your first sweet smile. The other dried your tears.
One sought for you a home that she could not provide.The other prayed for a child and her hope was not denied.
And now you ask me, through your tears,the age-old question unanswered through the years.Heredity or environment, which are you a product of?Neither, my darling. Neither. Just two different kinds of Love.

Waiting...

It's been about a year and a half since I created this blog hoping it will help potential birth parents get to know us a little better. We have been very busy while hoping for the chance to adopt again. Stella will be 7 in May, Tristan 4 in one month and Bill and I? Let's just say we're older too! We have gone on several camping trips, had lots of fun outings, and best of all took the kids to Disneyland and the ocean for the first time! We can't wait to go back SOON!

I will admit that waiting for a year and a half isn't the easiest. I wonder if it will ever happen for us and I'm very hopeful it will. I know having my two children keep my mind off of the wait more than it would otherwise, however I do think daily of when, how and if another child will complete our family. I wonder if it will be a boy or a girl. What they will look like. I love adoption and can't imagine our family any other way. I am thankful every day for such a beautiful gift. I've been fortunate to see how it has blessed not only our lives, but our children's biological families as well.

Anyways, I am rambling now. I just wanted to post some recent pictures and a few random thoughts since it's been so long.

Last year I started taking a picture everyday to document our everyday lives. I am doing that again this year because I enjoyed it so much and helps me remember all the little (and big) things we did together.

What a cute blog!!

Dang, I was going to start the daily picture thing this year too and totally forgot! One month down. I guess it'll have to be 334 days for me instead.

Hope something comes up soon. I'm keeping my eyes and ears out for you too!
