Today I am sharing with you my favorite picture I have taken so far this year. This is Lauren, our birthmom. She is due next month and we are so excited to have her as part of our family. Words can not adequately express the love, admiration and respect we have for this girl. 😀 She found our family through LDS Family Services and we later found out that her and I are actually 4th cousins! She has become one of my best friends and our family is truly blessed that she has chosen us to raise her precious daughter. She is such a trooper and during this shoot got sick and threw up, it was FREEZING cold and windy and we really only shot for 20 minutes, but got some great pictures of her thankfully because that night she had to go to the hospital because she was in pre-term labor! Luckily she and the baby are doing fine and the baby is still cooking for hopefully another few weeks before she decides to make her grand entrance into the world.
Adoption is an amazing thing! Check out some of my friends profiles who are hoping to adopt!
