3 Years!

Three years ago today I wrote this post. Three years ago today we received our referral of our son, Dylan. He was 2 days old.

I can't believe it's been three years (2 1/2 that he's been with us). He is the most amazing child you have ever met. His smile will melt the hardest of hearts. His spirit is wild and adventurous. His speech is coming along nicely although him repeating our random "shit! fuck! etc." we could live without.

But I can't let this day or his birthday go by without acknowledging his first mother. Both Sunday and today I felt her in my heart, tugging. I can't help but wonder what she does on his birthday and on the anniversary of her relinquishment. I say prayers for her and hope that she reaches out to us one day. If not, I hope that if Dylan ever wants to find her, that her door is open to him.

    It spooks me sometimes, the common-ness we have for 2 total strangers! We met my Jacob's 1st mommy around this time - 3 years ago. She was very pregnant with my sweet boy - due in December. My husband and I invited her to dinner and she called 3 days later and said - I like you guys and I want to give you my baby if you want him.

    I also have something you might like to see. It's a poem I was given on my son's first birthday. (I don't know how to make links here so...) http://2j1gharper.blogspot.com/2007/12/happy-2nd-birthday-jacob_07.html

    Thanks for reminding me of this special time.
