We weren't there when either of you took your first breaths. We didn't see you open your eyes for the very first time. Each of your stories are unique, yet in some ways very similar. Both of you came home 2 days after Easter (3 years apart, that is God's work right there!) We remember the phone calls and first meetings with each of your birth families. The very moment we learned of you, you had our hearts. The very first time we saw your beautiful faces and held you close, time stood still. I remember the way each of you smelled and I will never forget the way your birth families looked at you both. The tears flowed when they placed you in our arms. In that moment we became a family. God was wrapping his arms around us all and creating the most beautiful open adoption stories. Our family is unique, not one of us is linked by blood. Everyone of us is linked by love. I love our family story. God wrote a pretty amazing one if you ask me.
