What a blessing little "A" is ;) I just may call when i know I'm headed that way as you know I love your coffee, your company, and all three of your beauties. ....and you know I would love to see A's book. We don't really have a clear "gotcha day" as our legal process was a bit different and there was not a big court celebration. We do recount her story every year before bed on her birthday and it's a sweet special time. We also bring it up whenever there is a big snow fall as she was born on the first snow of the year and we call her our snow baby. It's always a time to reflect on how many people love her and on God's generous amazing provision for her and for us. ;) You are such a good Mama Sarah!

My stepdad adopted my sister and I when he married my mom, and from that day on we celebrate it as our "birthday" so it was always fun having 2 birthdays and when we were in elementary school we would bring cupcakes for the class and then we would go to dinner and then get a present! We still do that tradition to this day and it has always been a special day! I bet Little A is going to love her book you have made her and cherish it forever! We miss you guys!amandamikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13963718067725558715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8030003683626232259.post-14104691750286629562011-03-24T22:09:41.722-04:002011-03-24T22:09:41.722-04:00Sarah your posts always leave me feeling tearful, ...Sarah your posts always leave me feeling tearful, but not because of sadness, on the contrary, they are full of hope and LOVE! None of us are super human and we will never be able to do all the things we would like to do for our children as they grow up. The one thing I know for sure is that Little "A" already knows the depth of love your family has for her. She will never depart from it, no matter what may come. I can only imagine the face of Jesus that you were willing to care for His child in that circumstance. I pray God fill you with all joy in this journey.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17548347098796437682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8030003683626232259.post-60045345445538359922011-03-24T21:39:03.340-04:002011-03-24T21:39:03.340-04:00Okay....both Jenny and Jeni.....I will have to hav...Okay....both Jenny and Jeni.....I will have to have you guys over next month after tax season is over and we get the book :):).

(I just left you a long comment and my computer disconnected and I lost it :(....so I'll try again). Can't wait to see A's book....and would love to visit over coffee sometime :) We have celebrated Beckett's special day each year and have yet to settle on what we're calling it....we've referred to it as "gotcha day", "forever family day", and "B's special day". We have celebrated it in multiple ways. Some years we go out for mexican/hispanic food and then do a little celebration with cupcakes etc. at home....we usually give him a book with some sort of adoption or hispanic meaning. The 1st anniversary of him being home I stayed up super late the night before making a big Guatemalan meal and none of it turned out tasting very good :( Oh well, I tried! We have a photo album of all the pics his foster mom took when he was in Guat. and also the pics we took on our two trips to Guat. We always spend time looking at that and of course pray for his birthmom that day and throughout the rest of the year as well. One of my very best friends from college was adopted as a baby from Korea and her parents made a very big deal out of celebrating her "special day". Even in college, her mom would send money for all of our close friends to take her out to dinner on her day....she loved how much her family honored that day. I'm sure whatever you do will be a wonderful testimony to God's faithfulness in A's life!jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11144270338615896801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8030003683626232259.post-71873356149998869372011-03-24T21:12:15.073-04:002011-03-24T21:12:15.073-04:00Sarah, I was hoping you would post today.
