A simple phone call . . . 

There’s a baby boy who needs a mom and dad — do you want him? 

 
And in that moment . . .  prayers were answered, dreams came true, and my life was changed forever. 
 
 
Chicken fluff hair
 
Arched eyebrows.
 
A little button nose. 
 
Rosebud lips.  
 
Bird legs. 
 
Wrapped up in a little hospital blanket, topped off with a knitted blue cap. 
 
My BABY. 
 
MY baby.
 
 
LOVE at a first mention, before there was sight. 
 
Unmatched JOY in my heart. 
 
GRATITUDE beyond comprehension.
 
 
I will forever be amazed that God granted me such favor and the honor of being your momma. 
 

I prayed for this child, and the Lord has granted me what I asked of him. So now I give him to the Lord. For his whole life he will be given over to the Lord.” 1 Samuel 1:27-28

 
Happy Birthday, my love. You can’t begin to imagine how much I adore you.
 
Momma
