It is hard to believe that I am celebrating my 20th gotcha day!  Twenty years ago today, I was blessed with the addition of my third and final adopted child.  Because of the miracle and gift of adoption I am a mother of three and grandmother of one (so far). I will be forever grateful to God and the birth parents of my two sons and my daughter.  I can't imagine life without the opportunity to be a mother especially to the three greatest kids in the world!  Adoption is truly the ultimate sacrifice and gift!  I give my thanks to all the birth parents who are able to put your own desires aside to assure that your child has a full and complete life. 

That is unconditional love, exactly what every child needs and deserves!
