Lafler Family Adoption

The twins!! The twins are absolutely adorable. The adoption started out with the twins eating their lunch, and then lunch time never actually ended. They are like those mechanical vacuum cleaner robots, eating everything in sight. At one point one of the girls grabbed her sisters milk and replaced it with her own emptied cup when she wasn’t looking.

This gotcha session was full of emotions. Every one is, but some more than others, and on a scale of 1-10 this was definitely a 10. There were peaks of laughter like when the foster mom revealed that one of the favorite things for the girls to do is to retrieve diapers from the waste bin and smear it everywhere. Or the reaction from the new parents when they found out the twins sleep during the day and wake up around 3am and play. But there were also peaks of sorrow as the foster mother was terribly heartbroken from separating. It’s impossible to imagine letting go of a child. But I was glad to be there to capture both the final and first embraces.

Congrats.
