I'm so thankful.

I've always ...Thank you for sharing this story!<br />I've always believed that adopted children are covered with extra love: it takes true selfless love to give a child up for adoption (I cannot fathom Alice's pain in making this choice), and there is no doubt that you were a very much wanted child when you were adopted by your parents. <br />The welcome and love you have received from your birth mother and her family (husband Hank and your siblings) are blessing upon blessing. <br />What a beautiful story to pass on to your sons!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-721486719489709402.post-46613747156157104032011-11-09T14:10:44.881-06:002011-11-09T14:10:44.881-06:00Great post, honey!

I'm so grateful that you've written it on our blog for our kids to read in the future. <br /><br />What a blessed girl I am to have two wonderful mothers-in-law who are so good to me and whom I just adore! I'm so thankful for Alice's selfless decision to choose life for you and to place you for adoption. Because of her selfless love, I have the most wonderful husband in the world!Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01875496721000801632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-721486719489709402.post-45661428179644282952011-11-09T13:18:13.827-06:002011-11-09T13:18:13.827-06:00Thank you, Brian, for sharing your story!
