One of the most precious things happened in our life during my blogging hiatus. We were able to adopt a darling little boy. After much debate about what his name should be, we landed on Liam. We have had our little Liam since day one. I was able to be in the delivery room with our amazing and courageous birth mom and after some speed bumps we were able to officially adopt Liam about one month ago. He is our family's little cup of cheer.
Two weeks ago we went through the Las Vegas LDS temple to be sealed with Liam for time and all eternity. Gabby was able to be a part of the ceremony as well. I think it's safe to say that she had her first real connection to her spirit while we were at the temple. She started to cry shortly after the ceremony and she said that she was crying happy tears because the Holy Ghost was giving her a hug and she felt loved. I told her that is just what I felt too. The room was filled with many of our family members and loving and dear friends. I think we all felt a little glimpse of heaven that day.
I may not have come to motherhood in a traditional way or the way that I planned, but I know my children are meant to be mine and going through a ceremony in which you are given the promise of eternal life with them reminds me of the perspective I need to have as a mother.
