Birth Mother Adoption Walk

Before we adopted I had no idea there was such a thing as Birth Mother's day. It is always the Saturday before Mother's Day and our local chapter of FSA (Families Supporting Adoption) put on a birth mother's walk to celebrate. I was really surprised with the number of people who were there- some were adoptive families, some birth mothers, and some who have been touched by adoption in other ways such as aunts and uncles and grandparents. Adoption has been such a blessing to our family. We love our birth mom-without her we would not have Olivia. We are eternally grateful for her. Here are some highlights of the day...


Olivia loves balloons. She can't quite get the word balloon out, but it is simply adorable to hear her try.


The fire department brought the firetruck and let the kids get inside.

She also loves balls. Anything that is round like a ball is automatically deemed a ball. On Saturday I was teaching her how to kick it and she was doing pretty well- maybe she will be a soccer player.

Cosmo was also there and of course we had to take a picture. She has been a Cougar fan since day one thanks to Daddy.
