2 Years Ago....

My phone rang....and I heard the sweetest words I had every heard....."I have great news for you"! Jae-min was matched with us and in that moment, in that phone call, I became a MOM. This sweet little face was officially mine, all mine!!! I remember the day like it was yesterday. I remember being so scared, excited, overwhelmed, and nervous all at the same time. I remember the joy so vividly. I remember continuing to work the rest of the day and meeting Joe at home at night with flowers and a teddy bear. I remember it all because that is the day I became a mother. It would be 3 short months later before I got to hold my little bundle. And then the days would never be the same again.

It's hard to believe that this sweet face turned into this adorable little boy. With a sense of humor, a heart of gold, and a little bit of a sneaky side to boot.2 years ago I became a mother.....a role I had longed for. The last 2 years have been more than I ever imagined. When I got that phone call I don't think I truly "got" all that was to come. The really really hard times, and the really really good ones too.

My life changed on that day 2 years ago on the side of the road listening to my husband, the man that I love above no other, tell me that we had a son!!!! Our prayers and dreams had been answered. And we have never looked back. It's amazing how one little phone call can hold so much power to change your life forever.

Happy referral day sweet Jae-min. I knew from the moment I saw you, you were meant to be our son!! Thanks for making me a mom.
