Tag for National Adoption Month!
I got tagged! It was a week ago, but life is so busy :) I was tagged by Shanna and I love the twist she put on the tag, so fun!
Here are the rules:
1.Link to the person who tagged you.
2. Post the rules on your blog.
3. Share 6 nonimportant things/habits/quirks about yourself.
4. Tag 6 random people at the end of your post by linking to their blogs.
5. Let each random person know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their website. 6. Here's the twist Shanna put on the tag "Well, since it is my blog, I can change it a little, right? I've already done lots of random things about me here, so I thought I would list non-random things. In honor of National Adoption Month, I am going to list 6 things about my adoption experiences."
1. I've always loved taking pictures, but now my motivation for family pictures is a little different. I am trying to take fun pictures to include in our adoption profile, or on the blog :)
2. I love it when people comment on how cute and beautiful Lilly is and then they say she must of gotten her looks from me :) It's a great opportunity to tell them a little bit about adoption.
3. When Lilly was a tiny baby it was so fun to take her to the store and recieve comments on how good I looked after just 'having' a baby :) Talk about ego boost!
4. I've never prayed so hard or so much for something in my life until the start of our adoption journey! It's been so inspiring and faith building to see first hand that Heavenly Father does love me and hears my prayers.
5. Adoption is so wonderful, it has changed my life in so many ways. The main way is it is the reason Mike and I are parents today to Lilly and I wouldn't want it any other way. It is also the hardest thing I have ever had to experiance in so many aspects. But the trials really did make me a better, stronger person. I learned patience, love, humility, strengthened my testimony and more. I truly believe I am a much better mother to Lilly now then I even would have been at 20.
6. Mike started telling Lilly about her adoption story in the cutest way ever! Lilly constantly asks us to tell her the "Something was Missing" story. We are hoping to someday write a childrens book on domestic adoption and this might be a good start :) Mike of course would illustrate it too :) I am so glad that we are open with Lilly (on a 2 year old level) about her adoption. I never doubt that Lilly wasn't meant for me, and I hope that she will always know that she is my daughter now and forever.
Ok, in keeping with the adoption theme, I will tag 6 friends that I know through adoption:
Christine, Lissa, Carlie, Laura, Megan and Cindy

How fun. I am glad you let me know. I have such a hard time remembering to check blogs that don't have feeds. You guys need to publish an RSS feed!
Lilly is so adorable. I can't believe she is all ready two.
