A Thank You to AP's foster mommy and birth mom



Anne Pearce is so blessed to have 3 mothers who all love her so much. Today I am thankful and in awe of the two women who have given so much to my daughter. AP's birthmother told our foster mom at the FC interviews how much she loves her and wanted a good future for her. She placed her for adoption out of pure love. She is the true defintion of mother: she put AP's needs above her own. Our entire family will always be thankful for the gift of Anne Pearce. How do you tell someone thank you for giving you your daughter? I pray that one day I get the opportunity to meet her and thank her in person.
Anne Pearce is also blessed to have the most wonderful foster family! Carolina, Oscar, Joshua, and ALL of their family members love Anne Pearce like she is one of their own. They have taken such good care of her, and she is truly loved by them. They show her our pictures everyday and talk to her about us. They tell her how much we love and miss her and how we will be there for her soon. Next Monday will be such a joyous day for my mom and me, but I know it will be a day of sadness for Carolina. She has to give a baby she loves as her own to me forever. I know that she will be happy for our family and the baby, but I know her heart will be broken. I will always love Carolina and her family for all they have done for my daughter. They will all be a part of our lives forever.
I am such a blessed woman......I have my heavenly Father, my darling Andrew, Logan, Hayden, and Anne Pearce. God has entrusted ME with all these precious little people, and I will do my very best to teach them about His love for them. I pray for all of us today who are without our children in Guatemala, and I pray for all the wonderful mothers there who are taking care of them until we can.
Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day! We think alike. I too thought so much about Cameron's birth mother and foster mother today. I still stay in contact with foster mommy and love her with all my heart. Beautiful, beautiful woman...and I would love to meet Cameron's birth mother one day. You are right. How can you ever thank someone for a child?

Six days girl! Holy cow! I am so dang excited for you, but you know that I am already getting depressed because I'm not going to be able to talk to you on the phone five times a day! I'm feeling homesick. But it is going to be an amazing experience for you and I guess I can sacrifice for your happiness:) Anyway, I'll be down there soon to talk with you in person, right!
