The court hearing went well today, as Evelyn's birthmother agreed to terminate her parental rights and our petition for adoption was filed with the court. While this blog is normally about Evelyn, we would like to take this opportunity to publicly thank Evelyn's birthmother, even though she may not ever read this.
You don't know what a gift you have given us. Every day we wake up so thankful for the fact that of all the people in the world, you chose us to raise Evelyn. The love you showed by making a decision that put her above all else is a love that some may not understand, but is known so well by us. Please know that we hold a special place in our hearts for you, and will be sure to instill this love in Evelyn. You have done so much more than give us a child, you have made us a family. And for that, we are forever grateful.
"I thank my God every time I remember you." -Philippians 1:3

There is very little that I can think to add to what Brian & Lara stated, other than to say that the Family they mentioned extends beyond just their house & their blood-relations. We have had these two wonderful people in our lives for years now, and share with them a love that some siblings don't see amongst one another. We see the gift of love they offer Evelyn, and hope to give the same to our sons.
