Happy National Adoption Day!!

Today, November 19th, is National Adoption Day.  I have 7 cousins who were adopted through foster care.  My aunt could not have any children of her own, so she fostered 7 children....all of which she ended up adopting!  

I have a very small family, so I think it's so awesome what she did.  She made our family grow HUGE!  

I think adoption is very important.  There are SO many children who desperately need loving homes.  I think of adopting myself some day when Jared and I are done having babies. 

So today, I'm celebrating my 7 cousins.  I'm thanking all of those wonderful people in the world involved in foster care, & the families who choose to adopt.  You are giving these children a better, loved life.

That is awesome, I never knew there was an adoption day. And what a wonderful blessing your aunt must have been to those kids.
