This is the first picture in Jon's baby book. It all started with a phone call September 14th (the phone booth Mickey was at when Jan gave him the news... "We've got a boy!")
September 15 At Edna Gladney in Fort Worth, the nurse brought out Jon & gave him to Mickey. This is the 1st picture of Little Jon! What an awesome moment, we all get teary eyed everytime we hear the story.
Love at first sight! You can tell Jan can't wait to get to hold him for the first time!

ReplyDeleteMAN! What a wonderful post. I have known this story all my life but it just made the tears flow seeing the pictures and reading it. Seeing the looks on Mickey and Jan's face... AMAZING. Hope you had Great birthday Jon
ReplyDeleteThank you Jenni & Amy. I couldn't help but cry as I sat at the computer writing it. I've wondered so many things. Who was with his biological mother when she gave birth? What was going on during those 2 weeks between when he was born, and when Mickey & Jan got him? There is just something about adoption that is so special. Mickey and Jan have said before that it was great when David was born, but there is nothing that compares with being given a child that you didn't even know existed until the day before.
