Journaling the Adoption ABC's

I have been very lucky to come into contact with some AMAZING people because of my adoption journey.

One such person is Ashley Mitchell, and she is the owner of Blessings in a Basket, and an amazing Birth Mother. She runs an amazing company that has helped SO MANY women!  The thing is, as well, that she is so aware of the many men that are affected by adoption as well. There are some awesome Birth Fathers out there, and I'll shout that out anytime.  I don't know what the relationship/contact is between my own sons Birth Father and his family, but I know if they still have contact, it is wonderful... or at least I hope it is.

Anyway, she has put together, and is hosting a class on Course Craft, and I am so excited to be participating in this amazing program.  I've decided to post some of what we are learning/working through/ experiencing here. She has entitled it, Journaling the Adoption ABC's, and I am so excited to be involved.  I have been a journal keeper since I was a very little girl. So this is something I hope will not only be a fun experience in journaling, but will help to heal more in my own adoption journey.  Healing is never over, and never stops, but its always good to have help.  I also have decided to do the Instagram monthly adoption challenge. I'll also be sharing that here as well, so it is "public" for the time being. 

I'm excited to get on here and have DAILY things to do. I hope I can keep up... I guess the page overhaul will have to wait a while till this awesome THANKFUL month is over.  Plus, its ADOPTION AWARENESS MONTH!!! It really has always been my absolute, most favorite, awesome month ever. It just made it all the better when I became a Birth Mother.

So.  I hope you all enjoy, that its somewhere you can learn, and take a new view on adoption as an  AMAZING thing, that takes you places you never thought possible.

ok- so being new to this kind of blogging world, im going to be taking another, yes another, step back to set some things up for this here blog. 

I can't seem to find the time to organize what I want to get out of this, or what i should share and so on. 

Therefore, im here, and im going to get some help organizing, preparing, and setting up something cute and new and ORGANIZED. 

You'll finally see some steady posts, guests, etc etc.  so get ready... be patient... again... to my three readers:)

A Moment

I sent on Mr. E's birthday present a couple days ago... and today... im having a moment.  The kind of moment you lose your breath often, and realize how fast time goes. The kind of moment where you watch your own little babies, little children, and realize, you didn't get to see that with him, but he allowed you to see it with them.  

Tomorrow, my angel baby is 10. Tomorrow is the day my life was changed forever, ten years ago.  He is the best thing that could have happened to me at that point in my life. He saved me. His birth, changed me, for the better. It is a blessing. A HUGE blessing, to have been allowed to make my wrong choice, to right. And to have been lucky enough to be trusted in getting him home.

Tomorrow, will be his post. Until then, here is to the moments i'm having today, that are taking my breath away.
