She Looks Just Like You!

2 more.  2 more comments about how Cambria looks just like me, that is.  I was at Ko.hl's (Shhh!  Don't tell my hubby!  Haha!), and as we were heading out the door, this woman says, "Your daugther is soooo beautiful!  Can you turn her around so I can get a better look?"  

Say what??

So I say sure, and she says, "She is so beautiful, and those eyes!  She certainly gets her looks from you!  Well, I don't know what the father looks like, but she looks like you!"

I chuckled and was sooo tempted to mess with her and say, "Yeah, I don't know what the father looks like either."  But instead I smiled and said, "Thank you.  I think she is beautiful too.  And she is adopted, so unfortunately I can't take credit for her good looks."  And she said that she has friends who adopted a baby who looks just like the adoptive parents. 

I do know what Cambria's birth parents look like, along with a lot of their extended family.  She doesn't really look that similar to most of them.  I think she looks the most like her half-sister who is 5 years old, and absolutely beautiful.  So it's weird that she looks so similar to my family, but not similar to a lot of her biological family.  I can't wait to see what her new baby birth sister looks like, who is going to make her arrival any day now!  I even know the name of her new birth sister.  And I love it!

Then I went to my doctor's office for my flu shot (finally!) and the nurse said how beautiful Cambria was, and that she looked just like me and those eyes!  Those beautiful eyes!  I said thanks, and it's so ironic because she is adopted.  And she said she has friends who adopted a baby, and the baby looks just like them too.

God has a plan when he creates families.  Some look alike, and some don't.  But he knows the perfect place for everybody to land.
