This has been a long year but a great one. Daniel and I have been so blessed! I still can't believe that we got TWO beautiful babies that are healthy and so happy.
They are really noticing each other now. The other night, Daniel laid them down next to each other and they started laughing and smiling at each other. Love it!
Talon had his 4 month check up today. He weighed 15 lbs and was 26 inches long. Carter weighed 1.6 lbs more and was 1/2 inch taller than Talon at his 4 month appointment.
I found these adoption poems on the FSA (families supporting adoption) website and thought I would share.
Who never knew each other
One you do not remember
The other you call mother
One gave you a nationality
The other gave you a name
One gave you the seed of talent
The other gave you an aim.
Two different lives shaped
to make yours one
One became your guiding star
The other became your sun.
One gave you emotions
The other calmed your fears
One saw your first sweet smile
The other dried your tears.
The first gave you life
The second taught you to live in it
The first gave you a need for love
And the second was there to give it
One gave you up,
It was all she could do.
The other prayed for a child,
And God led her straight to you
And now you ask me through your tears,
The age old question through the years;
Heredity or Environment, which are you a product of?
Neither my darling, neither
JUST TWO DIFFERENT KINDS OF LOVE

I love adoption and I am so grateful for the wonderful birth mothers who picked us. It does not matter to me at all that I did not carry them for the 9 month or give birth to them. They are my boys and I love them with all my heart. There hasn't been a day go by that they haven't made me laugh or put a smile on my face. I waited a long time to be a mom and the wait sure was worth it!
