I just found out I am pregnant with the 5th child and I haven't been too happy about it. I thought I was done with having kids and this baby is kind of a major WHOOPS! After watching your video and realizing you have been waiting so long for this one precious child I find my attitude changing from resentment to gratitude. Thank you for sharing and good luck!

    ReplyDelete
  36. Reachel, thank you for sharing this beauty. I was touched...and then moved to tears when I saw that your drive was to Redlands, which is where my husband was raised, along with his two older brothers who came into my inlaws' lives and family through adoption. Bless you.

  46. Reachel,

  49. Isn't it interesting how so many can feel so profoundly happy for two people they have never met? The blessing of becoming a parent is so universally understood. Tears of unadulterated joy are being shed for you all over the place!

    Your video was beautiful, your baby is beautiful, you are a beautiful family.

    Oh, and by the way... having such a tiny baby is so, so wonderful! You get to hang on to the baby phase a little longer.

    ReplyDelete
  50. She is absolutely beautiful! Congratulations!!!

    I am constantly overwhelmed by the miracle of adoption. It brings me to tears over and over again to see/hear people's stories and catch a glimpse of the joy!

    Such wonderful news!

    ReplyDelete
  51. It brings tears to my eyes to see that such a precious, helpless, little baby now has capable, loving parents who are so happy to have her! My own babies have brought me so much joy and I'm excited you get to experience it now, too. I was watching your video with my oldest sitting on my lap, remembering him when he was that small, then I caught the strong whiff of a dirty diaper. :) May you have many such "mother-full" moments!

    ReplyDelete
  52. If ever there was a reason to delurk, this is it. Just a perfect little girl. :) Congrats!

  95. After hearing about the arrival of Coco Noelle I re-read the letter you wrote to your future child's birth mother, and I was so touched by your journey and your genuine, unselfish desire for a baby. I'm so happy for your new arrival, and hope you keep everyone updated on her milestones (and fashions) as the months and years go by.

    ReplyDelete
  96. I keep watching the video over and over. I'm so happy for you. And, can we talk about how cute she is? So cute.

    ReplyDelete
  97. I just love your blog. My baby boy will be a year in December. We were able to have the privilege to go through the adoption process with him. I just think it is the most beautiful and spiritual experience. Oh I'm so jealous you have a sweet new born in your life. Its amazing how they can pause your life, just for a little awhile at least.

    ReplyDelete
  98. We have also adopted, and it is a fast happy & terrifying frenzy there at the end. Congratulations on your newly expanded family - your daughter is absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing with us!
