National Adoption Month

I just learned from a friend that November is National Adoption month. So I thought I'd share her video about her adoption experience as well as their journey to adopt a 2nd baby. Our family feels a special bond to adoption as well. Quest was adopted when he was an infant and that has forever changed his life. There is no telling where he would be if his birth mother hadn't made that choice, or if we would have even ever met. So I send a special thank you to his birth mother for making that extremely hard decision, Quest is the man he is today because of you.

We also had to make the decision ourselves about adopting a baby when we had been trying to get pregnant for so long. It is never an easy decision, but we both felt at peace with it. We had gotten to the point of filling out the initial paperwork and just needed to make an appointment with the bishop when we found out we were pregnant with our beautiful Shannon.

Please watch this video and if you know anyone who you think would like to see it feel free to pass it along, I know they won't mind :)

So to all out there who have been blessed by adoption in some way, you are truly blessed indeed.
