Due to National Adoption month in November and because we were working on our paperwork for placement I've been thinking a ton about adoption. I am not eloquent enough to express my love and admiration for birth parents. I can't really explain how incredible my life is with Madeleine. I worry how she will feel about her life. If she will see it as the blessing I do. I just know that living with her makes me happy. Makes me want to be better. To learn more. To be more kind and forgiving. To make birthdays and holidays a big deal. To love her dad a little more.
This article was in the Ensign the month before Madeleine was born. It is such a good reminder of how precious these sweet babies are.
That's it.

Oh yeah

We are officially approved for "placement of a child"

Thanksgiving was delish. Spent with Auntie Kristin, Jordan and Gabriel. Then we went with the Bromgards to cut down our Christmas tree. I think Maddy loved the snow till I smashed her face in it when we wiped out on the sled.
