People often comment how lucky Luke is to have us to be his parents. Some more perceptive people comment on how lucky we are to be his parents. As I have heard these comments lately and as I sit each day and look into his sweet eyes I can't help but know that I am more than lucky I am overwhelmingly blessed. I know that Heavenly Father has watched out for me, for Bryan, and for Luke. I know this is right. Adoption is amazing and if you haven't been a part of it I don't know that you are able to fully understand. Most of Bryan's family is adopted and I knew that they were all loved the same. But before going through it myself I didn't know what a powerful and sweet experience it was. More than I can share here really, but I know that God's hand is in our lives, I know he cares about us in the small things and in the big. I know that Luke was meant to be our son. I love being his Mom and I am so grateful for the miracles great and small that made that possible.

I teared up while reading that. How beautiful. I agree, I think you'd have to experience it to really understand. I think all three of you are lucky. :) You're so sweet, Emily.

You two are the greatest people and am go glad that he is a part of OUR whole BIG family.
Can't wait to see you 3 this weekend..
We heard that all the time at the beginning, too...(then it started to bother me, so I am glad you are so good about it.) You all are lucky all around, he is lucky to come to such a great family, but having a sweet little baby does make you the luckiest in the world! I am so glad that your family has come together in such a special way, when we adopted Sienna it was a time where we felt the hand of the Lord so strongly in our lives. I hope you are just loving snuggling him, and trying to get some sleep! Congrats, we will have to have a playdate in the future!
He is an adorable miracle. I hope we get to meet him soon and hope that your first few weeks together are going well - you think you love him now...just imagine how much you will love him as you get to know him - it gets even better!
