Surprising our families with our adopted baby!

We adopted our daughter in 2020 and as the emotions of her first birthday approached, I decided to make this video as a compilation of the footage from surprising our families with the baby we had waited 4.5 years for.

Although she is still very young, we tell her everyday that her birth momma made her decision to place her with us out of love for her. She will always know how much her birth mom loves her.
We made this other video (   • Loving and honoring our daughter’s bi...  ) to show just how much we truly love and respect her birth mom.

A big piece of adoption is correct terminology. A birth mom places a child for adoption. They don’t give them up and it is not that they don’t want or love them. It is because they love their child.
We are so thankful to our daughter’s birth mom. We love sending her updates and pictures. We never take a day for granted.
