I keep finding myself looking back on where I was in my life this time last year. This time last year I was working on getting our profile put together for Lifetime Adoptions. It is a very hard process putting a profile together, especially when you have a husband who HATES taking pictures. You are trying to put into writing and pictures why you would be good parents to raise someone’s child. You just hope you put something in there that makes someone connect to you. Well, here we are 1 year later, and I’m working on a new profile to include Brody. When we got Brody, we put our account on hold with Lifetime, and the hold will be up the end of March.
This time last year our lives were so empty. There is a picture in our office of all the staff taken the day before we got Brody. Every time I look at that picture, I just look at myself and think how at that moment I had no idea how my life was going to change the next day. Becoming Brody’s mama is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I love that little boy more than I could have ever imagined. Even after almost 9 months, I still look at him and can’t believe he is my son. There were so many times that I thought becoming a mama would never happen for me. I am so thankful for God giving me such a precious gift.
