I am thankful for Adoption. Adoption is a beautiful thing. It is a miracle. It is a gift. And thanks to the beautiful gift of adoption I have my oldest son, who means the world to me. . . and two beautiful nieces and two adorable nephews. Many of my friends have become parents through the gift of adoption. My friend Rachel was able to give her daughter the gift of a family through adoption. Many children in my neighborhood are here because of adoption. Adoption surrounds my family on all sides. My world would be a very different place without adoption.
In honor of National Adoption Month, we spent yesterday with hundreds of other adoptive families at Boondocks. We had so much fun playing arcade games, mini golfing, eating, and driving bumper cars surrounded by some of the most beautiful families you've ever seen. I am so very thankful to be an adoptive mom. It's a title I wear proudly.
Of course, I wouldn't be an adoptive mom without a very special woman who chose to take the title of Birth mom. Tyson's birth mom is amazing. She didn't have to place Tyson for adoption. She could have kept him. She could have raised him. And she would have done a great job. But she knew he needed a father. She knew he needed more than she could give him. We were just lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time. I am eternal grateful for her.
