I got the news of Carson’s birth shortly after his arrival. It was a very special, emotional text when I received the picture his mom sent of her crying holding her new baby. You see, his mom couldn’t have children so they met up with Carson’s birth mom who chose them to adopt her son very early in the first trimester. Erin has been one of my best friends since before elementary school and was always the rock start baby-sitter, most likely to be an amazing mother so it broke my heart when at a very young age she learned she would never be pregnant. It made it an extra emotional time because he was born on my son’s birthday (the day he turned 1).
These photos give me all the feels and bring out every raw, sensitive, loving, blessed, joyful heartfelt emotion there is.
I’m so grateful for adoption so these men and women who long to have children of their own have that opportunity they could never otherwise have.
I just love the photo of Erin kissing him and his smile. He is so clearly meant to be her son and the photos of them together completely pull at my heart strings in the best way!
