10 years ago we were blessed with a little baby boy. Now 10 years later are family continues to be blessed by the wonderful family that placed this baby boy in our arms. I will never forget the day we found out that Cade would be apart of our lives. I had a feeling a few weeks prior that I needed to finish a blanked that I had been making. My mother-in-law thought I was crazy. I not only had to finish the blanket but I also had to re-do our profile letter for adoption. We were packing and getting ready to leave for Lake Shasta, and I spent the entire time revising the letter. Craig was annoyed and my mother-in-law was frantic and I was busy retyping and printing. Craig rushed to the post office and off we went on our trip. Two weeks later Craig boarded a flight for Florida for a new flying job. While he was on the plane flying across the country I received that amazing phone call that has changed our lives forever. I had to wait two hours for Craig to land, and then I had to wait two days for him to return home due to a hurricane that grounded all flights in Florida.
When Cade was born we cried and cried. We could not believe how lucky we were, nor could we possibly imagine the love that his birth mother has for this little boy. The day finally came that we loaded up the car seat to pick up our little boy. We traveled to the social service office to sit for three hours waiting for Cade and his birth mother finished taking pictures. It was one of the most agonizing three hours of our lives. However it was also one of the saddest moments of our lives. We experienced true love that day. We witnessed what it must have been like for our Heavenly Father to give His son to the world. When we brought our little Cade home he was all blotchy from the tears that were shed on his behalf that day. I will forever love his birth mother. She is a much stronger person than I will ever be.
Happy Birthday Cade we all love you beyond words. Thank you Grandma Tonya and your beautiful daughter for helping us have a family forever. We LOVE you always.
