Happy Mother's Day to ALL!!!! I love Mother's day, I love all the flowers that everyone is planting and I love recieving flowers and I love the joy that comes from having little Mya in my life. Mother's day has not always been a good holiday for me. Before Mya came into our family it was one of the hardest days of the year. Wanting to be a mother so bad but not being to be able to. The Mother's day right before Mya was born I couldn't even manage to go to church. I have a whole new respect for Mother's day now. Not only am I a mother now but I am a mother because of the love of Mya's birth mother. A sarcifice that is so great that words alone cannot begin to express my gratitude to her. She is the most amazing and selfless person I know. Mya's birth mother is truely my HERO!! Mother's day will forever be bitter-sweet, knowing that Mya's birth mother may have a hard day, will always be in the back of my mind. We love you Shannon!!
I am so very thankful for the relationship that I have with Shannon. Shannon invited me to go with her to the birth mother dinner that LDS Family Services does for Mother's Day on Wednesday. It was such an amazing, spiritual and fun night. There was slide show playing the whole time of the children that these wonderful birth mothers have placed. And everytime that the pictures of Mya and Shannon came up I couldn't help but have a huge smile on my face. One part of the night that stands out the most in my mind is the musical number "From Gods arms, to my arms, to yours". I have always loved this song and it always makes me cry but that night sitting next to Shannon and listening to those words was so emotional for me. Thank you Shannon for taking me with you. It was so much fun!

That is such a sweet post! I really couldn't read that without crying. I think adoption is the most wonderful thing in the world! I love that you have kept in touch with Mya's birth mother. She looks absolutely darling! How blessed you are to have sweet little Mya in your life!!
So I read this forever ago and I tried to comment on it, but I just have no clue what to say. I love you guys and although I miss Mya every single day more than I ever imagined, I know, without a single doubt that she is where she should be, and you are the most amazing mother. Being able to have a part in making Mother's Day a great day for you is amazing. I love you guys so much! Thanks for loving me and letting me be a part of your lives.
