Happy Father's Day!

I had to laugh today....my mom told me at Father's Day dinner, "You don't write too much on your blog anymore!"    She is probably one of the few people that actually reads my blog!  Lol!   We had a yummy nice Father's Day dinner with my parents and father-in-law and my hubby and the kids.

One of my adoption friends finally brought the baby she has been waiting years for home from the hospital recently!  I am so excited and happy for her and her family!  They have experienced more roadblocks and speed bumps in their adoption journey than anyone I know.  I will say this...because the irony is incredible....she is a mom of boys like me, and wanted a daughter as desperately as I did.  Well, her tune changed, and the baby I mentioned she brought home from the hospital?  Well, the baby is a BOY!!  And she is thrilled, over the moon happy!  I laugh because I always say that God knows what we really want & need long before we realize it!  She really just wanted another baby to love, the gender did not matter in the end.

Another one of my adoption friends who had a bad adoption fall-through after she brought the baby home from the hospital years ago (a couple weeks before my own adoption situation fell thru at the hospital 4 years ago) ....she is a foster parent now and is enjoying her new role.  I am so happy for her too.  Those were the last two adoption friends that still didn't get their happy ending to their adoption journeys.  I have been waiting and waiting to hear their good news.  It finally happened!

I messaged Cambria's birth father today and wished him a happy Father's Day.  He promptly replied back and thanked me.  I texted his mom  (Cambria's birth grandma) 2 cute videos yesterday of Cambria doing cute things like counting and reciting her colors and waving hi and bye and blowing a kiss to the camera.  She replied back "I love her so much".  It melts my heart how much her birth family cares about her.  I don't have any worries about them rejecting her when she is older if she chooses to seek them out.  If things continue the way they have been going in our open adoption, she will be warmly welcomed by them when she is old enough to contact them herself.

So today, on this Father's Day 2015, I am thinking of my own dad, my husband, my FIL, and my daughter's birth father with love and warm wishes for an amazing Father's Day.  I hope Cambria's birth father is enjoying his day with his son.   I appreciate him for allowing Dave & me to parent his daughter, and to help us make our dreams come true by having a daughter.
