Blessed

Yesterday, while getting my pedicure (I told you I was taking care of myself:)), I read an interview of Sandra Bullock about her newly adopted son, Louis. She spoke of her precious son as any new mom would talk about her child...with pure love and adoration dripping from every word.

I watched The Blind Side today and cried as a story of courage, love and adoption unfolded in front of me.

Adoption can be and is beautiful. I needed to be reminded.

Jason and I are so blessed. We actually get to experience the miracle of one set of parents making a courageous and painful choice out of the greatest love that exists, the love they have for their child. And then, even more breathtaking to me, we will finally get to know the love between parents and their child, not because that child has our genes, but because love is that magical.

Wow, we are blessed.
