Beautiful! This is the word that describes this picture for me, because open adoption is just beautiful to us!

So finally after over a year we had a wonderful visit with Amber. She drove down this weekend with her friend Ben, which was convenient for us for the court hearing. Our planned visit was really set for Saturday but because she drove with us to and from the courthouse she was able to see Aedyn Friday night as well. Saturday was quite laid back, we just hung out talking, watching Aedyn play, Nina and Brian came over and we played a game of Cranium, more Aedyn playing, cooking, eating Potato soup, etc. Amber gave us a couple of kid friendly cook books that belonged to her growing up, which we will have fun exploring. It was a very relaxed happy day. Aedyn on Friday night gave Amber a kiss goodbye, a beautiful moment to remember. Although on Saturday night he was being stingy with his kisses with everyone. It was bittersweet when they had to go, but we know that there will be more visits just as happy as this one. Knowing Amber is truly a blessing and she feels like family, who IS family.
