Here are some pictures from Hope's dedication. I forgot to bring my camera in and thank goodness they had a photographer. This is Andy introducing us and telling why we are dedicating our little Hope.

Then it was my turn to speak. I started off good.

Then I started crying...

and crying.... Pastor even came over and hugged me and said that I was doing fine.

I finally got it together and said what I wanted to say. I talked about Hope, her birthmom and how we chose Hope's name. We also had chosen a life verse, Jeremiah 29:11-13.

Pastor then took Hope and prayed over her.

It was a very nice dedication.

I've been told there wasn't a dry eye in church.
I guess when you really share from your heart people can tell.
