great grandmother. She is family now. She was the only one who didn't agree with our birth-moms adoption plan because she said.."no white folks are going to bring those babies back to see you." She didn't trust..She didn't know us though. Now she does.
So I went back. I walked into a small one bedroom apartment
to see Grandma. She stared at the girls and said
"Lordy me, those are some fine babies."
I couldn't agree with grandma more. She held them and kissed them and watched me be their mommy. I could hear her saying "my, oh my, fine indeed." That's when she looked at me and said, "you've done a fine job. I can tell they're loved and the kids love them. They are healthy and happy." She then asked me to send her a picture of the three of them together and I told her I would.
and I will.
I will be forever grateful for the
chance to be a small part of this family.
We are not that different, she is family and I love her for that.
The girls birth mom was there and their bio sister, Mimi, and so I got their first family
photo.
Mimi ended up coming back home
with us to spend a few nights and get to hang
out with her sisters.
In the end it's all about
family.
I love living outside of normal.
You never know what we'll be doing next.

Really, it just doesn't get any more beautiful than this!!!!!!!
Your girls are so wonderful. Their skin is so smooth and fresh. I have a Latino granddaughter (I am caucasian) and I appreciate everyone who loves her as much as we do.
So wonderful! And the girls look absolutely adorable!
Oh how wonderful for the mom to have this picture (and the grandma too). You have such a loving heart and a beautiful family!
