We went to church today, and I have a friend in my sunday school class who is a Creative Memories Consultant. She and I were talking about me making a book to send to our child when we find out who he or she is. So tonight she brought me a book that gives you ideas on how to create this book and albums for Elise and the other new addition to our family. So I have been looking at these books and deciding what I want and how much I can spend. I have to be careful on what I buy right now because I have to paint the bedroom and the bathroom so I can really use the extra cash.

So there is the poem in the book i wanted to share..

Our Family Tree

We've added to our family tree

A stronger one to make, A child

from another plant has

Become our new namesake.

Just as a limb is grafted from one

tree onto another,

It alters and improves the plant

Making it unique and like no other.

Our family tree has been improved,

Adoption made this so. For love,

much more thatn bloodlines,

Is what makes us thrive and grow.

We chose to share our life and

love and all the joys to come.

Our "family tree" has blossomed

With the arrival of our sherished one.
