Pictures capturing tiny snippets of the triumphs, the joy, the laughter, the craziness of large families, the visible healing, the snuggles, the cheering, the gatherings – and zillions more teeny-tiny memories and many gigantic memories because we said “YES!!”
And it’s a beautiful day to celebrate National Adoption Day!
Some of my personal favorite memories…
because if it wasn’t for adoption most of these pictures wouldn’t exist and some would be drastically diminished in every way!
The amazing thing is the “trickle down” effect because our treasures are adding through adoption, which means love multiplied! Multi-generational blessings because of this beautiful gift called adoption.

We would have missed out on so much life if we hadn’t said,
“YES! We need you!!
You’re ours forever!“
Together we joyfully shout that we’d do it all again, without even a speck of hesitation. In fact we wouldn’t change anything except bring more home sooner!! They are all ours and we are family forever!!
