You didn't grow under my heart,
But in it.
A year ago today, our son was born in Guatemala. And a year ago today, a very special woman gave birth to a beautiful baby boy.
Today, we reflect and give thanks to two wonderful women in Jacob's life. First, his birthmother, who we will be forever grateful to for giving us the most precious gift in helping us create our family. The second is to the amazing Foster Mother who cared for and loved Jacob the first 8 months of his life.
Each year, on Jake's birthday- we plan to light a candle of remembrance and honor. We pray that (Sandra) the woman who gave our son life will find peace in her heart and somehow know how very very much our Jake is loved~
Happy Birthday Jake- We love you VERY much!

I didn't give you the gift of life,
But in my heart I know.
The love I feel is deep and real,
As if it had been so.

For us to have each other
Is like a dream come true.
No, I didn't give you
The gift of life.
Life gave me the gift of you~
