She Looks Like You

Someone posted this on Facebook today, and I loved it.  This happens to me too....ALL.THE.TIME!   People are always telling me that Cambria looks like me.  It makes me wonder, though, if we had had a biological daughter, would she have looked like me?  My boys mostly look like Dave.  Jacob looks like me more than the other two boys do.  The funny thing is that Cambria probably looks more like me than a biological daughter would have!  Cambria's birthparents really don't look anything like me, so it's interesting that she looks like me!  We have the same blue eyes.  But we didn't adopt her hoping that she would look like our family.  I thought she would have much redder hair, because her birthbrother and birthgrandma do.   Her birth father has strawberry-blonde/reddish hair.




Here we are on her very 1st birthday!! 



This is Zack and Cambria.  I think they look kinda similar in this picture.  Big brother was giving her a ride on her Princess car!  So sweet!

Above all, it doesn't really matter to us if Cambria looks like us or not.  We love her so much.  It is cool to see how God orchestrates everything and builds our families for us!  I've read so many adoption stories/articles/blogs, and one thing I've read over and over again from adoptees is if they didn't look like their adoptive families, then they felt out of place and felt like they didn't quite fit in.  So at least Cambria won't feel that way.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!  I am beyond thankful for my husband, kids, adoption blessing, parents, family, and ibu.profen....I can take it after my grueling Cross.fit workouts when my legs are beyond hurting!  HA!
