Oliver: the love of my life

I've been emailing with my brother about various topics and it made me realize how much I miss writing. I decided to go back and read old blog posts from this blog and another one. I was reminded, while reading this blog, that my friend Julie mentioned that I needed to post a follow up on about our adoption. Anybody who is reading this should know that we adopted a baby boy in 2012, but I figured I'd write a post about it just so there is resolution. :)

Oliver came into our lives on May 18th at 11:45pm. We received an excited call from one of the social workers at the agency saying that Oliver's birth mom wanted to make an emergent adoption plan for him and she had chosen us to be his parents. We met our baby boy the next day and our lives were forever changed in the most amazing way. Maybe someday I'll write a post all about that day (I currently only have a cell phone with which I can write), but for now I'll just say that it was the start of the greatest part of my life - motherhood. Almost two years later I'm still amazed and feel so blessed to be Oliver's parent. He is the love of my life.
