We Love Adoption!

Obviously, adoption is very precious to our family.

I am so excited about the new Adoption: It's About Love website.

It is such a wonderful resource and the result of soooo much hard work!

Check it out!

Angel

in Greek and Hebrew the word angel means messenger.

Our family has a very special Angel.

Her name is Megan and she is Zach's birthmom.

She was a messenger of joy--

a messenger of healing,

a messenger of happiness,

a messenger of a precious son.

Time has only increased the love we feel for her.

When Zach smiles--we can see her smile.

When he cheers for sports, or hits a baseball, I think "Megan would be so proud!"

We know he is a gift.

We are so grateful to our angel.

Thanks Megan for commenting on the blog.

I have been thinking about you so often lately and have not known how to contact you.

Send me an email (mslorenc@sbcglobal.net) with your address--it wasn't on your comment.

I would SO love to chat.

Love you.....

How Cute Am I?

How many babies are this adorable at only 4 days old?

And how many are this brilliant--to already know how to smile?

Prayers everyone--
prayers that the paperwork flies through court
and
this little girl can get home to see her Daddy.

Oh Baby!

or in Zach language: "WooHoo! Amber has a Sydney!"

Two Years Ago Today....

Two years ago today, we were participants in a miracle.

Two years ago, we went to the hospital in the middle of the night and met the most amazing young lady who was in labor.

She chose us to be the parents of her baby right then and there.

That sweet boy was born at 8:47 in the morning--a whopping 9 pounds 12 ounces.

And he was beautiful.

And life was beautiful.

And we experienced a miracle.

Our hearts were so full of love for this little child.

A parent's love, though we had only just met.

Adoption.

It was miraculous, and wonderful, and I was without words.
