Mama's little gardener
This is the reason why I am Overwhelmed With Joy! My beloved, precious son is my guiding star in life. I love him to the moon and back! Each and every day, I give thanks that I have been entrusted to raise this gentle, beautiful soul. How did I ever get so lucky?I am a proud adoptive mother. Our son (to be referred to as "Snuggle Bug") was placed in my arms at 2 minutes old, and has been the most important part of our family ever since! He is now 15 months old.
My husband (to be referred to as "Oronzo", I love picking fictitious names) and I have a semi-open adoption relationship with his birth parents. We've agreed to send pictures/updates twice a year (although we send them more frequently).
We are happy to have contact with Snuggle Bug's birth parents. We feel it's beneficial for him. One day, if he wants to seek them out, our plan is to already be in touch with them and to point him in the right direction. It helps that we've met his birth parents and can pass on information to him when he starts asking questions.
I'm not sure what I'm going to do with this blog, other than communicate with other bloggers that I love to read. Who knows, maybe with a bit of encouragement, I'll turn in to a bit of a blogger myself.

Having just found your blog, I'm excited to read your adoption story.
Right off the bat, the semi-open adoption sounds like a win-win situation...my hubby is adopted, and we have never been able to find his birth parents. It's not that he's desiring some big relationship with them, but it would be nice to know family medical history, and maybe why he was put up for adoption.
Oh, and Snuggle Bug is adorable!
