Where You At?

I love this song by Jennifer Hudson. Besides her amazing vocals, I am struck by how much it jives with the feeling of some of the birthmoms we came across in our adoption journey. They didn't want to talk much about birthfathers, but seemed to wonder if they would ever find a man willing to stick around. They are very strong, independent women, but it's not lost on them that they have to face raising children alone while I face it with a committed husband. A few times I felt them looking at me as if to say, "You don't realize how good you have it."

Steve is about as good as they come! We are so happy for your family. Never a dull moment in your world=) We miss the good times our families had together. With any luck we'll make connections this summer while we're home for almost 2 months. God bless you and people like you.

Steve is about as good as they get. I just love both of you. You are such wonderful people. We are so happy for your family. We miss the good, impromptu, times we had with your family. Maybe we'll be able to make connections during the almost two months we'll be in Utah this summer=)
