Baby G

Kaylee gave birth to the most beautiful little girl on April 7th. During the last 9 months Kaylee had gone back and forth with what kind of life to give this little baby girl (I called her baby G or G). She thought about the life the baby would have if she kept her. Kaylee would be a single mother going to school and working. She knew in her heart that this baby deserved a family and a mother who could stay home with her during the day.
No one is quite sure how Kaylee found the family she did but we are all so thankful that the power of faith and prayer worked. The family that she chose has 3 children (all adopted). The oldest is 11 and the others are 8 and 6. They are all VERY excited to have a sibling and Baby G is going to have a wonderful life with siblings who love her and will protect her. Another thing Kaylee wanted was a family who would be open to Baby G knowing Kaylee. They will be sending pictures, letters and Kaylee (and the rest of our family) will be able to see her when we are in California. They will also hopefully be making trips up to Washington.
The past few weeks have been hard on the whole family (especially me). There have been a lot of tears. I just wanted what was best for Kaylee and told her I would support her 100% whatever decision she made. The adopted parents were wonderful. I met them last Saturday and it had already felt like they were Baby G's parents. Kaylee is an
amazing, selfless, strong woman.
Here are some pictures I took...
