Isaac and Bri

We are getting to spend a few wonderful days with the woman who gave our Isaac life and who chose our family for his forever home. 

My thanks for her and for her parents who helped guide her to place Isaac in our arms nearly twelve years ago cannot ever be put into words. 

Today we taught Bri WINGSPAN. Actually Isaac taught her. He did great, and she caught on super fast. 

Tomorrow we are spending a day at Universal Studios/Islands of Adventure. Our family, Grama Joni, birthmom Bri, our friends Jessica and Bailee, and local friends Patty and Yamil and Troy, and Bri’s mother-in-law, Melody, are joining us.

Due to the cost, we were going to only do one day. But Bri called the park and told them that she had always dreamed of getting to take her biological son, Isaac, to the Harry Potter exhibits. They both share a great love for the books and wanted to do this together. 

When she shared her story with the Universal Studios folks, they gave her THIRTEEN free passes for a second day and over two dozen single fast pass tickets. 

We are so excited to get to do this with Bri. She showed up at our AirB&B today with presents from the houses the kids are in. I think she may be more excited than the kids. 

I love our family. I love that we have all these extra people that adoption has unified for life. 

Here’s to Harry Potter adventures!!!!
