Fascinating Neutral Design Ideas
This time last year we got a phone call that went something like this…
“Hi, ma’m, we have an 8 month old that needs emergency placement this evening, are you able to take him?Before you say no, can I just tell you about how happy and cute he is? I mean no pressure, but he is the sweetest little boy I’ve ever met.” I quickly started asking more questions about him and before I hung up, I had basically already said yes. I called Curt to tell him we had gotten our first placement call in 6 months and “How could we say no?”. I was visiting a friend in Pennsylvania at the time so I packed the kids up and rushed back home. By the time I got there the cutest, most chubbiest 8 month old boy was sitting on our couch with Curt waiting to meet us!
If you’ve ever fostered or adopted then you know what I mean when I say, it was instant. The connection I felt to Teddy was immediate. 7 months prior Hailey had left our home to go live with her birth mom and even though I was so happy they had gotten their happy ending, my heart had completely broken. Everything reminded me of her, even the smallest tasks. I couldn’t open her door for almost 4 months because of how much it hurt. Gaining Teddy as a son that weekend was the best Mother’s Day present I could ever get.
Teddy helped healed me. He is our rainbow baby and truly made us whole again after Hailey left. Not that she could ever be replaced but the joy and happiness he brought to our home was exactly what I needed. For one year now he has been our son and in a few months it should be official.
Happy Stork week, Teddy! We had no idea how much you would change us for the better! We can’t wait until we can make it officially official soon!
