I received an invitation to a very special event. It was and adoption celebration but not of the “ordinary kind” that comes to mind. This was an adult adoption.
My friend, who is single and has never had children, befriended a young woman and was a loving mentor to her for several years.
Then the decision was made that my friend would adopt this young woman and they would become a family.
I loved the wording of the invitation and I congratulate Angie – now mother, grandmother and mother-in-law, and Karyssa – a newly adopted daughter, mother and wife.
This is the best thing I’ve read all week. What love. What a story. What a reason to celebrate. Congratulations all around to this “new” family.
I’m glad you liked it as much as I did. I was grateful Angie gave me permission to post this love story.
What a heartening reminder of the magic love works in the world! Thanks so much for sharing, Valerie.
Love is powerful, indeed.
Oh, I’ve always thought fondly of Angie! And am so happy for her. Give her my congrats….such a mutual act of love. Exciting! May God bless her and her adopted family.
Will do.
