I was moved to happy tears while watching this video! What a blessing you are to these beautiful girls! My husband and I adopted a little boy from foster care, and it was wonderful seeing part of your story, woven with the same thread as ours… Merry Christmas!!!

This is just beautiful. <3
Such special times. My youngest is a teenager. My oldest is now married, with a child of his own. Watching my grandchild on his knees, looking up at the tree with wonder, is bringing back those special memories. Just as this video did.

where’s the kleenex???? Oh my, this is so precious. My girls are 17 and 20… We miss those days of sweet innocence and wonder. Do keep this moment in your heart forever as there is nothing that anything material can replace! We didn’t have the opportunity to create and share like this a decade ago, but now, you can do so many amazing things on the web… seriously, I can’t see… off to find the tissue!

Bless your family and treasure it all!!!!

Merry Christmas to you all!

Debbie - November 29, 2011 - 12:32 am

My husband have adopted two little boys from foster care and will adopt a little girl in the next few weeks. They are 6, 5 and 4….and I know the feeling you describe about the day you met the girls and took them home. The best thing to hear is that I am the ‘best mom ever’ – because my kids have something to compare me to. Congratulations and best wishes to you, your husband, and the two little girls.

Patti Santoni - November 28, 2011 - 10:59 pm
