The Christian Crew

 So, before we made it over to my mom's for Christmas last year,  We stopped in for a visit with Jessica and her family! They spoiled the kids as well!  Jessica got the girls an ice cream maker!  Grandpa MAX giving snuggles!  Great Grandparents Phil and Mary-Jo!  Jessica ( g's beautiful birthmom) & gpa Max  ( her dad)  Aunt Morgan opening G's gifts for him!( yep good looks run in this family!)  Opening more gifts!  Gav loved his playmat from Jessica! I know this next baby will get some use out of it as well! So, as you can see - Open adoption for us WORKS wonderfully! I know it may not for every situation but, in ours it's perfect harmony ( most of the time)! You can never have too many people that love your kids, your family, you! As long as the people are healthy ( mentally, emotionally etc.) than i say bring it on! And i do remind the birth families that my KIDS don't NEED lots of ...
