Because our life has become one long courtroom drama, it has been
awhile since I've posted about the blessing of open adoption and how
much I just ADORE Ty's first mom, Rebekah. If you're a newer reader, yes, Ty has two moms...with the same name!
Life has gotten busy for both of us as we juggle full lives with many children, but when we do have the chance to connect it is always refreshing. Rebekah has recently turned her blog into more of a vlog, which has been really fun because Ty and I can watch together. Awhile back she posted a video about little known facts about herself. Ty thought it was so cool that she liked to garden because he likes to garden, too.
He ended up calling her the next day and it was heartwarming to listen in on his conversation. Just like a little man, he was relaxed on the couch with his leg propped up. I heard him tell Rebekah all about school and his baby sister and the fruit trees we planted. Even though we, usually, only get a yearly visit in, he loves Rebekah with all of his heart and I am so proud of that!
I wanted to share the message that Rebekah sent to us, this week.
When Rebekah talks about what she's going to do with her pumpkin seeds, Ty actually gasped out loud.
Take a listen.
How creative and fun is that? Ty was over the moon that Ms. Rebekah would share her seeds with him. I am so thankful for this woman who gave my heart life. It is a complete joy to watch their relationship grow.
What a good reminder that God stretches us for his purpose - and it's always good.

Thank you for sharing this on your blog. As another adoptive Mom, these posts are always so encouraging to my heart. Our open adoption hasn't reached this level (not by my choice...), but maybe one day. :-)
