I've been thinking about the girls's mom lately. Maybe it was because we attended a wedding today and I watched the slideshow thinking "our girls will not have any baby photos to put in their slideshow". But I know they will make wonderful wives and women.
I get to make their mother a scrapbook and fill it with photos of her girls. Photos she has never had and will never have unless I give them to her. What a priveledge! I also get to write her a letter. What do you say! Oh, God give me the words.

We think of our kids' mother often. It hurts to think that something so abundant in our pantry is the reason she doesn't get to raise them and watch them grow. It hurts. I have a hard time balancing the knowledge that this adoption is God's plan for our family and yet it is a result of so much loss. Hard to wrap my head around. In spite of the great hurt, there is also great hope. Great post!
That is sooo cool that you prepared photos of her girls that she'll never have - sooo full of LOVE - We told our mom that we are all ONE BIG FAMILY - her, and us. I don't know if she understood, but we wanted to convey that we were ending her relationship but feel privledged that we are included in the upbringing of her children.
that comment came out WRONG! I meant to say that she'll get photos that she otherwise wouldn't have had... not that she'll never have - oops for me.
