7 years ago we became a family... after a failed adoption where we had met the mom at 6 months pregnant, went to the hospital and loved Jessi for one month. The adoption fell through. We lost a child and were heart broken. On veteran day 7 years ago we both were doing our own thing. We had huddled down, cried a lot and became a stronger couple through this. Aran was cutting wood and I had just asked him if I should hang the baby clothes back up or put them in storage .. a call came .. a birth mom had chosen us and would like to meet us. We were so excited, scared and aprehensive at the same time . We met jasmin that Saturday and just loved this soft spoken, sweet, funny girl. We knew she would fit in our family as we had decided on an open adoption. Luckily she loved us too..and we went to meet Lilja . That little girl with the curly head of hair captured our hearts instantly . The next day was the placement ceremony with jasmin. A very emotional ceremony on which we pledged to always be there for lilja as a triangular system. Birthparents to adoptive parent to lilja . Then we took Lilja home.. and had the first night as a family . Thank you jasmin for chosen us , we are indebted to you always . You made us a family !
