I am so overwhelmed with the love and support that my friends and so many of my family have shown us since I shared with them that I was adopting Madi. Today was our Tag Sale and it was a HUGE HUGE success. The donations came in droves from friends, family, and even strangers. People bought lemonade from a bunch of little boys and girls just wanting to help bring their sister/friend home. My friends came early to help me set up, stayed all day, and helped clean up. I was overwhelmed many times throughout the day...not just my tired feet, but my heart. Through the adoption of my girls, I have gained sisters. I have gained a family far larger than my girls and my biological family. We all came together with one purpose, to help our children be a part of a group with families just like ours. Families who had children from China. What we got was much more. These ladies are my heart. We all know that in a pinch we all have each other's backs. We would do anything for each other and MOST certainly for each other's kids. These are the ladies who I will be growing old with, rocking in our rocking chairs laughing at old stories and memories of "when we were young." You ladies ROCK. I love you!
My Mom and my Aunt are my constant supporters. In all areas of my life. They are so important to me and their unending support and love is beyond measure. My Aunt loves my girls so much (and me too) that when she comes over, I have to lay some ground rules or else they wouldn't leave her alone for two seconds. When they were a little younger I had to remind them that Aunt Melanie comes over to see Mommy and Nanny, not to just play with you LOL.
My Mom, always by my side. I think she deserves a post all her own. I will work on that. She is my best friend!
Love all of you ladies!! I can't wait for you to meet Miss Madi. She is such a love and truly meant to be a part of "our circle of love."
XOXOXOXOXOXO
