I rarely see birth parents do the "put the name with the face" thing, so I thought I'd start one

I'm Brandy, adoptee and birth mother in open adoption. I work here, live in Arizona, married to John and mom to Jerrett.

Just finished my third and hopefully final masters program and I'm looking forward to taking a fun filled family vacation this summer - even though we haven't figured out where it will be, yet.

Below is our Christmas Card photo - it helps that it turned out ok - else I'd be sending one of Jerrett's stick figure drawings.

What a beautiful family!!!! It is so "weird" for me to see pictures of people you "know" only on the internet. You are so pretty!

[BrandyHagz]

Aww, thanks! I have image issues, so I rarely share - but I'm working on getting over that

Thanks for starting this great thread Brandy. I'm Tara, birthmom in a fully open adoption to T who will be 9 in February. I'm married to Chad who is T's bdad and we are expecting our second baby any day now. Chad's an accountant and I'm a registered nurse. We live up in the great white north aka Canada.
Here's a picture taken from our recent maternity photo shoot.

I like the pics, Brandy and Tara. My avatar is my 36 year old bson, me, and his wife taken the day I baptized their youngest 3 children. Here is a picture of my husband John and me.

I love being able to put a face with a name. Here's a picture of me and my 5 year old daughter.

Tara - I LOVE your hair that length!! Looks great.


Brandy - You look fantastic, and like Tara, I really like the hairstyle. I think the last time I saw a picture it was more layered....

Allison and Karen - again, great pictures!!!Everyone looks so happy
