Since my last post, I've been thinking a lot about different paths to motherhood. I recently reconnected with a good friend from BYU who adopted a baby this last August. This month, she has dedicated her blog to posts about the adoption process in honor of National Adoption Month and has included a series of posts from her son's birth mother. They had an open adoption, which means they are in full contact with the birth parents and actually have great relationship with them. In fact, their baby's birth mom is her husband's second cousin. It is an amazing, miraculous story that I definitely recommend reading. Here is a good place to start. But be warned, you may end up reading for hours because Rachel is an extremely talented writer with a knack for getting the most out of life's lessons. You won't come away disappointed.
