Adoption is an amazing gift that should be shared, talked about and celebrated! There will never be a moment when your child will not know who you are or that they are adopted. We feel so very blessed that Gracie will have siblings that she can share the common thread of adoption with.
We have a wonderful relationship with Gracie's birthmother, Kristy. We feel very fortunate to be able to email, text, blog, send pictures and gifts, and visit whenever we can. There is a picture of Kristy hanging in Gracie's room. Gracie will always know who she is and will always have a special relationship with her. We love and admire Kristy so much, and are so grateful that she is a part of our lives.
We believe open adoption brings a lot of healing to everyone involved. We hope to be able to provide as much information to our children regarding their birth families and how they came to our family. We know that each child sent to this earth is precious and unique and comes with their own unique circumstance. We believe every child needs to know where they came from. Troy Dunn, an adoption advocate, said, 'you can't have peace until you have all the pieces' and we believe that with our whole hearts.
