Thank you Lisa and Bill for sharing this update and beautiful family photos.
Sheila,
Mila is one and we cant believe it! She is the sweetest little girl and we fall more in love with her every day. This past year has honestly been a joy for us. We’re still adjusting to what it’s like to have a little girl in the house, but she’s been patient with us. Her brothers are her favorite people in the world. No one can make her giggle quite like they can, and it only takes one laugh from them to encourage her silliness. We had the opportunity to go spend time with her birth mom and sisters a few mins ago and it was a joy! We didn’t know what an open adoption would look like, but we have grown to love her birth mom, Jenn, like she’s a part of our family. We spent 5 days together in May and had such a sweet time. We don’t know what it will look like over the years, but we’re confident that our growing relationship with Jenn and her daughter will be an important part of our family forever.
Again, thanks for helping us to find our daughter. Our hearts are so full of love for her! We’re in awe every day of the way we were brought together.
