"Ohhhh..." she paused looking at me, "How did that happen?"
"Well, when God was making this one, He thought He might change things up a bit. So He took this mostly Swedish girl (me) and this Italian boy (Dave), put them together and...POW!... grew us a Puerto Rican baby."
The girl was very sweet and didn't mean any harm, but it was quite humorous to me. I've never had anyone ask me that. So I explained all about fostering and adoption and the girl was thrilled. Apparently I'm just as cool as Angelina to young teens everywhere. And she says she wants to adopt when she gets old enough. Well, I hope she does. And maybe I helped to inspire her :)

Her little feet are so darling.
Those sweet toes and adorable baby rolls are amazing! Cute, cute, cute.
How's Mateo doing now? He looks super cute, too, by the way, in his Easter pictures.
Love the double chin!
It's funny to me that a 14yo would need an explanation about adoption. But I am probably just basing off my own 14yo who knows all about it thanks to her baby brother. :)
After you left me cousin (the gir's mom) said you really gave her confidence and inspired her to start considering adoption again :)
