Welcome Home, Sweet Baby!

Our baby boy was born on November 18th!  We were able to stay in the hospital, just three doors down from his birth mother and grandmother.  Our sweet boy stayed in our room with us, but we visited his first mom every day.  The hospital staff were absolutely amazing!  They were so supportive of everyone involved.

We all cried when it was time to leave the hospital.  We will always be connected by the love we share for this sweet boy.  But, it was such a bittersweet moment.  There is a quote that sums up how we were feeling that day:  A child born to another woman calls me mom.  The depth of the tragedy and the magnitude of the privilege are not lost on me.

We spent just over a week in a hotel before we were able to drive across state lines.  We had to celebrate Thanksgiving in that little hotel room.  But, that was the best Thanksgiving ever.  There was so much to be thankful for.
