Her adoption didn't diminish the love or belonging, but expanded it. She will cherish both heirlooms someday, and hopefully pass them on to her own daughter.Baby Smiling In Back Seathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06483533946303787478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19220163.post-41595136108240922892009-01-14T06:56:00.000-08:002009-01-14T06:56:00.000-08:00I'm here via la Creme...Your post blows me away. ...I'm here via la Creme...<BR/><BR/>Your post blows me away.

One of the things I spent a lot of time doing in the months right after adopting my two youngest is framing and hanging family pictures. I have a B&W portrait of my three sons hanging right under a B&W of my great-great grands sitting with their grown children. I want my sons to see themselves anchored in our family history. They are the men of my father's family name going forward. My youngest has a first name from his first family, am middle name from my mother's family and a last name from my father's family. Thesse things are important. It's so special that you have the gown and the photos!Andromeda Jazmonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12355192738014962965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19220163.post-21133940040988016792008-05-31T20:43:00.000-07:002008-05-31T20:43:00.000-07:00Aw, I missed the post.
