No such luck

So our birth family search will not have a happy ending at this moment. Our searcher will not get to show her the wonderful cuteness that is Anna and let her know how much we love and adore her. I think I still somehow hoped that having this knowledge would somehow give her a bright spot in her probable pretty hard life. I was so hoping to have a picture so show Anna some day of the woman that gave her life and perhaps some type of communication. But, not now.....perhaps later, I don't really know....maybe never.

Wish us luck

Our birth family searcher just said he found "traces" of Anna's birth mother. So, I have spent all evening writing up the birth mother letter and trying to narrow it down to 12 pictures to send (yes, double what he recommended but how can I limit such cuteness??) I'm trying not to get my hopes up but I think I am anyways.

We just returned from a wonderful long weekend away in Sedona, Arizona to celebrate my big 4-0 and our 11 year anniversary. Auntie Manda and Gramma watched the kiddos and I know they had a BLAST. They made the cutest halloween cupcakes! Anna did really good but I'm pretty sure she wore out my sister who has no kids.
