Exciting news

Izzy and her husband have a passion for fostering children. They have been licenced for I believe a couple years now. That isnt the excited news though. An opportunity fell into their laps to adopt a baby through a private adoption. I was on pins and needles as they were awaiting the birth of the baby. On my first wedding anniversary, the baby boy was born. Did I mention I got married? Had a beautiful wedding. Back to Izzy, she has chose to have a open adoption with her son's first Mom. As a birthmom from closed adoption era it makes my heart to see this happening. I don't know full details on what they agreed on or talked about. Izzy has shared her journey to parenthood on social media and it really appears like she wants to educate the public on adoption. I wont sugar coat it. The adoption caused some panic and fear in me. Its hard not to compare stories of my story and this one.. Also, the fact that while adoption does grow families that it first breaks one up. Luckily, after the TPR was signed most of my anxiety and stress went away. I sm very happy for them.
