Adaption Awareness Month Day 2

Its the 2nd day of Adoption Awareness Month, and as we continue to raise funds, save our money and work on our next steps (home study, saving for 2nd agency installment), I've really started reading anything and everything I can get my hands on regarding adoption.  I've downloaded books, subscribed to blogs and am just so hungry for anything I can soak in.  Experiences from birth mothers, adoptive parent journeys are the new crack to my system as I work to prep myself emotionally for the road ahead.

You read a little bit of everything- the good, the bad and the ugly.  So today, for Day 2 of Adoption Awareness Month, I want to share my absolute favorite quote read this week.  Remember Nia Vardalos of the Greek Wedding fame? 

(Actually, while I loved both Greek Weddings, my favorite N.V. movie is in Connie and Carla when they dress in drag and sing showtunes for 72% of the film- LOVE!)

Anyway, Nia has an adoption story and it's just beautiful.  You can read more about it here and she's also written a book on her experience.

Looking through her story, the quote below has just stuck with me:

This just confirms to me that adoption isn't another path- it's THE path for those who choose to go that route.  And that quote sums up the feelings I'm having about our child.  I already know- I NEED to be this child's mother.  Whenever we meet, I KNOW it will be right. #babycarradoption
