What a blessing adoption is! We had Lilly's birth mom and family over for dinner last night and they shared with us a beautiful video Amber created (via her amazingly talented cousin Jared Fadel) for our precious Lilly that documents Amber's courageous adoption journey.
Words cannot describe how amazing it was to watch it with them. I pretty much sobbed through the entire thing. Lilly is SO LOVED! What a special gift this video will be to Lilly throughout her life. It will always be there as constant reminder of how much her birth family loves her and how incredible they are! We honestly feel so blessed to know them and have them a part of our lives. Lilly has truly bonded our families together forever!
Thank you for the precious gift you have given us!
"Life is not a competition with others. In its truest sense it is a rivalry with ourselves. We should each day seek to break the record of our yesterday. We should seek each day to live stronger, better, truer lives; each day to master some weakness of yesterday; each day to repair past follies; each day to surpass...ourselves. And this is but progress."
