our 'bundle of joy' turns four {adoption linky party}

that's right it's true.

she's four

and there's nothing i can do about it.

motherhood is a tricky thing.

we love them with all our heart,

care for them with all our might

knowing - that one day,

 they will spread their wings and fly.

*******

my prayer for sophia is...

she'll know how wanted she was,


and oh how much she's loved!!!

happy birthday
 to my one and only sweet baby girl...

Help me spread the message and miracle of adoption by joining the linky party (open for 7 days), or leaving a comment. As Sophia said to me when I got home from Blissdom, "Girls need moms!"...melted my heart.

    Thanks everyone. The linky's up for 7 days, but I just wanted to say thanks for commenting and linking, what a great way for readers to get answers and different perspectives on adoption/foster. I get a lot of emails w/ couples considering who have concerns and the more sources they have to go to the more informed decision they can make. Plus, Soph's loving the linky party...but I'm afraid she thinks there's going to be an actual party tomorrow. :) XOXO, Jess
