More Love
Aaron and I have been discussing our options lately to open our currently closed adoption. We have told a few people and constantly get the same questions ~ Why would you open an adoption with someone who cannot speak your language, has a different culture and of whom you are blissfully unaware?

There are moments today where I am right back there – the nerves … Read entire article »
