GIMH: Treasured Photos of Adoption

Posted in Chicago Memories, Maternity Home, Trauma by Suz on 10/29/2009

Grown in My Heart has a blog carnival going on that asks one to post their most treasured photo of adoption.  This may seem odd but the photos below are treasured to me.   They represent the only places (outside of my parents home) that I was with my daughter. I spent five months with her in utero in the first photo and 3 days in the second.

    I can understand why these would mean so much to you. I feel much the same about Evanston IL which is the only place in the world I know I was with my mother.
