Highly porous. Color over grey.
I love all the Curl Junkie products. Still experimenting with gels and curl creams. Still hoping for 2nd day hair....
Every day is a gift :flower:
I'm so glad things have gone so great for you two. I actually met-up with a childhood friend recently who was adopted and was wondering if she ever met her biological parents.

But more importantly, I work with birth mothers in the adoption process so reading all of this has brought lots of tears.... so good to read about good experiences! One girl I am working with is really struggling with giving up her baby (in June) and these stories are so powerful. Thank you for sharing all of it! It's inspiring me in may ways...

Me and the BF
The happy couple, me and the birth father. It was happily non-awkward.
Me and my daughter sharing a hug *sniff*
And from the front
The happy couple in the front. From L to R
Me, the birth father's stepfather, the biological father, my dad, my mom, and the mother of the biological father. What an odd sentence. Sorry about that.
The professional pics should be ready in about two weeks.

You and the bride looked beautiful. You really carried off that dress.

I'm glad that all of the bio family was there to share. I really like the bio fathers wife, so we chatted quite a bit. With both bio families, her family and his family there, it worked out well. No awkardness. Answering lots of questions from those who had never met me, but it was all friendly.
She has turned out to be a great young woman, and I'm proud of her, small as my accomplishment was. Her parents did a good job raising her.
She told me I should be a grandma in 5 years, lol.

I have to say I love the pic of the back of your head.
Also: so that's the boyfriend!
Gorgeous pics. If I didn't know, I wouldn't think you were her mother.
It's great that you guys found each other and that you're close now. And you look just alike!--same nose, same eyes, and the same smile. It's adorable. (although I can't believe you're her mother. You look too young for that!)

And the dress turned out fabulous... I love the accessories!

You look great in the dress, and your daughter looks beautiful. I love her dress and how simple her veil is! You and your boyfriend both look under 30, like you could be at your graduation in that particular picture, actually.
Congratulations!
Ever since the sports thread wars I have sensed a special connection between [edit] & Wile. Like the connection oil has to water. I almost can't speak of it. Wait....my eyes are misting. ~asq
Let’s just stay together and tell the world to kiss our ass. ~P
Very great photos! You both look lovely.
This. I'll be PM'ing you for your skin routine!
Happy Mother's Day!
You both look beautiful and could absolutely be sisters. What a happy day!!

I've decided that I'll never get down to my original weight, and I'm OK with that--After all, 8 pounds 2 oz. is just not realistic.
Yes, you do!
