You see, each family, whether, biological or adoptive, is different. Each family came to each other differently. It all started with love, and then a family grew.
How did you meet? Were you neighbors growing up? Did you meet in college? Blind date? Chance meeting at the ballpark? Fender bender at the local grocery store? Did you start your family at once? Go through a journey to meet your child/ren? Move a million times in between each child? Or grow your family in the same town you grew up?
See...we are all very very different! Your journey is just that...YOUR journey, and no one else will ever have the same story!
I created this image for our family and fell in love. Hubs and I were born in the same state, about 30 minutes (and a year-ish) from one another. One child was born in another state and another child in another country. Our beginnings all looked different, but all roads led home...to our family. It is our journey...and our journey is not over yet!

| I ran out today and had a quick print made of our family image. I LOVE it!! I had hoped to have it matted and framed for this photo, but the afternoon got crazy so here it is! I have big plans for the kids hallway and it includes this print! |

Update 4/28/14: I am overwhelmed with the response from each of you! I knew *I* loved this, but had no idea if anyone else would. Thank you so much!!! Sooo, to answer a few questions that have been asked the last couple of days.
Can the quote be different? YES! If you have something in mind, just let me know.
I don't see a spot to leave my information? Just add it in the 'notes' to seller spot in paypal.
I forgot to leave my information? No problem, email me at foreverblessedbyadoption@gmail.com
We were all born in the same state...ours will looking boring! Nope, I will use different maps to mix it up a bit.
What size are these? Good question! I'm trying to size so that you will have the option to crop to the size needed. However, with larger families, panoramic really is the best option.
Where do I get these printed? Anywhere really, but I've found just running to the local print shop (Office Depot, Office Max etc) works well. They can work with the size you need and adjust/crop etc. Since the image background is white, it is easier for them to work with to if you need it printed on a larger size than what I have created. I chose a white matte cardstock for mine and love it.
What is your turn-around time? I'm trying my best to get these back within 48-72 hours. Just a quick as I can!
Do you need the city we were born? No, I'm really focusing on the state (or country if born outside the USA) instead of the city.
Are the maps you use old? I'm using all types of maps, so yes, many are old. Many look aged and some are new with bright colors. I'm using them all, because I think a wide variety represents the many different people that we are.
4/29/14: I am working on orders from 4/28 today. I am going with Hulk on a feild trip tomorrow so if you message me and I don't reply it's because I'll be hanging out with several of my favorite 8 and 9 year olds. :) I promise, I am trying my very best to get these out just as quickly as I can. And again...a million thank you's to each of you!!!!
$20 and I will have it back to you within 48-72 hours.
And....THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!
I hope we can announce some big news soon, and as always, ask for your continued prayers!
Either way, I will update our journey later this week. :)

Don't forget that Mother's Day is just around the corner. A gift for yourself perhaps? What about an image representing grandchildren? So many options!
Adding a few that I've created....
Notice anything? Yep...every one is different, just like every family is different!
