Look Who We Met Today!

Today was a beautiful day and a perfect day for a picnic!

We had an adoption support and awareness family picnic through Joseph's Hope Foundation. I invited my Friend Leah and her family to come. We met through the Holt Korea forum. When we realized we had become caught up in the EP mess while waiting for our babies, we did what any anxious mama would do. We stalked timelines of other families and quickly figured out who all was waiting and in what order from the forum. 

When we were finally submitted for our EP's. Leah was in our batch. We formed our own facebook group of six families all in the same batch so we had support through the wait. Each of us had our own special story of why we were adopting and what we had been through. Each of these women and their children will always hold a special place in my heart. 

Ella loved playing with their daughter Taylor!

We soon figured out we lived really close to each other and we thought we would travel together but we actually passed each other in the air and missed each other by only hours. I was so glad to finally meet this sweet family!

How cute is little Aiden!!!! I am definitely partial to little asian angels but that cute little face and those dimples melt my heart. 

And here are some other beautiful faces from today!

We were pleased with the turn out especially since there were so many other events in BG. If it had not been for ball games we would have had many more able to come. We hope to make this an annual event. We had families who had adopted from China and Korea.  There were other families in process for Ethiopia, Korea, and domestic through the state of Utah.

What a fun time! We are truly blessed to know these families and hope to continue to add more.
