Adoption

Adoption "maternity" photo shoot - PIP/LIP

My parents were in town this weekend so we finally got some photos to commemorate our season of expectation!  My dad is not a photographer and I just used photobucket to edit, so they are not professional by any means, but I think they turned out pretty great!

Here's a teaser and the rest are in my blog addingaburden.com

    I never have been on this board and click the wrong one - I love photography and had to peek and your photos. I was NOT expecting the emotional affect this would have had on me on a random Monday night. 

    Thank you for sharing this and your story followed by your blog. An amazing Mother you are & your love is immensely strong to reach your little one so far away I know for sure.

    Humbly following your story,

    Melissa

    I wonder if there's a way to do that for our domestic adoption that doesn't just come off like "I love America"... Hmm...
