Life with the Lemmons. We are all a work in progress. Every day is something new. Every minute is another memory made. Mike and I have been married for 17 years now. Taylor is 13 going on 16 and Aiden is now 4! Oh, and we're adding another one to the pot, Tanya! Some days I think I've lost my mind! What's it all about? Not sure yet, but I'll have to blog it to find out!

Not flesh of my
flesh, Nor bone
of my bone, But
still miraculously
my own. Never
forget for a single
minute: You
didn't grow under
my heart, But in IT.

Prayer for a couple adopting a Child

We have waited for so long for this child of choice.

Bless us with an abundance of your love that we may be good parents, that we may create a home of blessing, that we may encourage this child to the fullest of his potential.

Bless our child, O God. Give him security in our family, the joy of laughter in our home, and the courage to face the challenges ahead.

Let our child know the love we feel so deeply for him, and let this love be a strength to confront the opportunities of life.

Amen.

How could you know?

As you lay sleeping far away as still as you could be...
How could you know the joy today this photo brings me?

A few short weeks and you'll be mine, and "I" will soon be "We".
How could you know that love I feel? It's something you can't see.

So have sweet dreams, my precious babe. Sleep well and tenderly.
Some say that you're the lucky one. How could you know it's me?

Legacy of an adopted child

Once there were two women who never knew each other
One you do not remember, the other you call Mother

Two different lives shaped to make you one
One became your guiding star, the other became your sun

The first one gave you life, and the second taught you to live it
The first gave you a need for love, the second was there to give it

One gave you emotions, the other calmed your fears
One saw your first sweet smile, the other dried your tears

One made an adoption plan, that was all that she could do
The other prayed for a child, and God led her straight to you

Now, which of these two women, Are you the product of?
Both, my darling, both, just two different types of LOVE.
