Adoption journey🫶🥰

Meeting our babies for the first time was definitely an adventure we were all nervous but we drove 815 miles to meet them and at every mile marker my anxiety rose. I wondered would I be good enough and probably some of the same things they wondered in their little heads. The baby of the group cried at first, understandably, because we were new people I can only imagine what was going thru his little mind, 🥹as we attempted to bond with him. By the time we made it to the second play ground he was ours and was waving by to the workers 🥹💜these babies complete us. Adoption is bittersweet for many but I wouldn’t change our decision to adopt or the children that God chose for us. #adoptionjourney #thecainbunch #embracevulnerability #unfiltered #fyp
