Lismar she is just incredible! What a happy healthy girl!! Congratulations. She is too cute. Love her smiley eyes.

I am fostering a two month old right now who is awaiting adoption. I am hoping for her sake it happens soon...we are enjoying every moment, but feel like these precious first smiles should be with her family.

God bless you for what you do for those children, I'm not sure I could do this again.

Thank you. In my situation I am just an infant care provider for short term so a birth mom can make a decision. I have 4 children of my own and am not looking to adopt....this is how I tell myself I can do it....although each time a baby leaves my heart breaks a bit, and I'm never sure I can do it again....but somehow I do. It makes it worthwhile when I see your sweet baby all settled in a loving family. Thanks again for sharing!

Congratulations!
She is an adorable baby. She looks happy. I'm so happy for you guys

Beautiful.
You are all so lucky.
And deserve it.

Wow.... almost a full year has gone by since adopting our Lorelai. Shes almost 2 now and full of spunk! She is so very independent and super smart. One of her favorite things to do every day is to feed "her" turtle. It goes by so fast...

Wow, time flies, doesn't it ?
Gorgeous, thanks for posting.
I love happy endings. (and beginnings!).

I'm childless by choice. I'm too selfish about my personal space, bordering on antisocial. Dogs are my favourite people.

I really have no advice. Just wanted to say I do admire your courage and wish you all the best.

I think it's a choice in your case, not selfishness.
