Blessed Beyond - Happy Mother's Day

I was so blessed when I was in ET to have met the mothers' of my children. I told them over and over and over how thankful I was that they selfishly gave up their kids to be with my family. I mean just think about that for a minute. To have to get to a point in life where you just cannot support to raise your children anymore? And some people have the nerve to think the children are blessed to come to us? NO, WE ARE. This is the least we can do for them. I hope one day soon I can return to ET to meet with the moms again, bring me a good translator and tell them again how thankful I am and how much joy these little ones have brought my family. Amira's mom makes like $5.00 per month and she still brought Amira and Biruk their traditional ET clothing and she bought a scarf for Kevin and I. When my friend Signe returned from ET she gave me a huge bag of coffee and berbere from Biruk's mom. That is how unselfish they are. I am so blessed. Thank you God.

Ok, I thought it was so cool that I wrote my mother's day post then got on your blog and saw you did the same thing. Celebrating the mom's of our adopted kiddos! I did steal your idea and put a couple of pics in after:)
Happy day!

That is such a blessing that you did get to meet their mothers and thank them. I often wish I had that chance.
