My mom and I were talking about the adoption when I decided to ask her how she feels about Jed. I was honestly not sure what kind of reaction I was going to get because we have never been through anything like this before. My mom shared, with me, a conversation she had with her Step-Mom about how she wasn't sure how she was going to feel. (I believe this conversation took place before we had any photos.) My Step-Grandmother told my mom that she would love this little boy because I love him. I thought that was so beautiful. I can't really put into words why but it was a powerful statement for me. My mom then shared how she looks at all the pictures, of her grandchildren, on the shelf and that Jed just seems to fit right in. I was so happy to hear this because that's how we feel.
Our sweet boy all the way in Hong Kong is perfect for our family and I look forward to the day I get to wrap my arms around him. I'm sure it will be one of the most priceless moments of my life!
