The Results are in....


And it's a match! Josie's DNA test results came via Fed Ex today. With it came a color-photo of Josie and her birth mother. The photograph is heartbreaking. Both are crying, but managed to smile for the photo. My heart breaks for Josie's birth mother. Just to try to put myself in her shoes brings me to tears. I can't imagine such a sacrifice. I hope to have the chance to tell her one day how much we love that little girl and how much we all cherish her. She has already brought us so much joy. My children love her so much and they have never even met her. Josie is a part of our everyday conversation, she is included in all our plans, she is a part of our lives and she's not even here yet. I cannot wait until that day when I hold her hand again and never have to let go.

I can't imagine how painful that day was for Josie and her birth mom. I'm so happy that Josie is one step closer to coming home to her forever family.
