Okotoks Newborn Photographer
a·dop·tion/əˈdäpSH(ə)n/Learn to pronouncenounnoun: adoption; plural noun: adoptions
- 1.the action or fact of legally taking another’s child and bringing it up as one’s own, or the fact of being adopted.”she gave up her children for adoption”
But what does adoption really mean to me? Adoption to me means the start of a new family. The start of sometime special, and something beautiful. The start of wanting and loving and the creation of something new. A new family. Not a family simply created because they can, but a family created because they want to.
Adoption holds a very special place in my heart. My own Mom was adopted as a baby. It was something she was always aware of, and something I was always aware of but it really wasn’t a ‘thing’. My Mom had a wonderful family, a wonderful Mother and Father who loved her dearly, and thus, loved me dearly. We never really noticed the differences in our appearances. The fact that my grandmother had dark brown hair, and brown eyes, and was only about 5’4 whereas my Mom and I are both tall with blond hair and blue eyes didn’t matter to us because that was our family. We were loved. My Mom was loved.
So when I received an inquiry from a Mom who was adopting a baby girl I really felt drawn to her and how wonderful this was for the family. How this little girl was chosen to be part of their family – to become a family together. To be loved. To be wanted.
