Our trip to meet Grant's Birth Mother


Today was an amazing day! Yesterday we drove 9 hours to Elko NV to meet Grant’s Birth Mom! We got to our hotel and checked in and then went to do some shopping. Then we came back and played with Grant all night. I made him laugh so hard! It was the first time I have ever heard him laugh so hard! It made my night, and quite possibly, my entire year!!! He’s getting so big now! He is in 6-9 month clothes! Can you believe it? Anyway, we woke up this morning and tried to pass the time. Eventually it was time to leave the hotel so we checked out and went shopping again! We bought Grant his first baseball hat! It was so cute! Then it was time to go to the restaurant to meet his Birth Mother. She sent us an email telling us she was running a little late so we played on the train for a while! We finally went into the restaurant and waited for her to arrive. Our caseworker arrived first and shortly after that, she arrived! We were all a little nervous, but I handed Grant to her as soon as we sat down and her nerves seemed to calm a bit! We had a wonderful time talking and getting to know one another! It was so nice to hear how grateful she was for us and that she could see how happy Grant is and it made her so happy. It was just overall a wonderful experience! There were laughs when it came time to change his diaper and I offered it to her! She commented on how that’s our job now! J It was nice to see her so happy and feel good about her decision. She is an amazingly strong woman! We are so grateful for her in our lives. We couldn’t have grown our family without her.

At the hotel! We just bought these 2 T shorts for 2.99. They look like pants on him!
