I started dating the love of my life when I was 16 even though I new I would ever since I was 12 . Different story! Anyway, I knew he had been married before. During his brief 3 month marriage his exwife got pregnant and because of nature and how many times she disappeared during this marriage, my hubby in all honesty didn't think the baby was his. They decided to place the baby up for adoption. We talked and said if in 18 years,a girl showed up on our doorstep saying she was his, we would love her as our own. But in reality he knew she was going to a couple that could not have children and she would be well taken care of. I knew sometimes as our family grew his thoughts would be "I wonder". Anyway at 18 years nothing.... Then at 32 years he got a message on Facebook that would change our lives. After meeting her and seeing her and my hubby together There was NO doubt she was his. It's been fun getting to know her and her 2 kids and fiancé. And last weekend we were asked to attend her wedding. A weekend getting to see her interact with her family, and the love they have for each other. My hubby got to know she was loved and taken care of. And to top it all off she asked him to walk her down the isle with her own father. It was very touching and we are blessed to have an ever growing, changing and loving family.

Love you Tami. Such a great story about unconditional love and how selfless adoption truly is. Love your family :)
