sharing the bigger picture of our adoption story
My brother-in-law Jason is what you might call a genius. He fixed my little issue I was having with comments on this blog! So now, when you click on the comments box, you can actually leave one and you can read what others are saying! Jason’s endeavor, Good.Fight.Media can probably help you as well!
In honor of my back in action comments, I think it’s time for my FIRST blog giveaway! Today I am giving away one custom-designed MaggieMoos T-shirt! You might remember seeing Norah modeling her custom-designed Lola the Ladybug.
To enter, all you have to do is leave a comment on this post by 11PM Central on Tuesday June 10 and I will announce the winner on Wednesday morning! Then you’ll work with Maggie Moos Mom to create the shirt of your dreams for your little one or a little one you love! Tell your friends!

Our adoption story was written long ago, not by us but by our Creator. His plan to adopt us into His family through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ planted seeds in our hearts that came to life in June 2007 when we welcomed Norah into our family through a domestic adoption. Though the little details of this blog may be about our adoption story, we hope our thoughts and images might inspire you to look into the bigger picture of God's plan for your life - to adopt you into His family as one of His children.

Hi Ali - I love your blog but I usually just read it in my google reader so this is the first time I am actually logged in and commenting! You gave us good incentive!

I am a lurker of your blog. I learned about you through the Bethany Web forums…My husband and I are waiting for our birthmother to have a baby, she is due in two weeks. We will be a transracial family, and I enjoy reading your blog–helps me to learn too!

I have been trying to find just the right post to write this question. And what better post then one with a contest! LOL I first heard about you via my good friend Stacey Love and I also met you once at Stephanie’s studio. Anyways…quite a while back I emailed Stephanie regarding a doll with the name Norah Lucille that I saw on ebay. I was curious if you able to snag it. Thanks for your time! I really enjoy following along with Norah…..the day I met you was the day you took Norah’s picture in the bird’s nest at Stephanie’s. I love your work!

Well, good to know comments are working again (cause i too thought i was the only one who couldnt see them). I have been following your photography for some time & found you through Shai’s blog! Norah is probably one of the most beautiful children i have ever seen (besides my own)

Hi Alison! We are avid followers of this site and every time Hannah is sitting with me going through this site, she asks “who is that pretty girl?” So I am leaving a comment to say, Norah is just too darn cute in her MaggieMoos T-shirt so why not try to win one for MY cutie too to show off way up here in Chicago! Fingers crossed!!! =)

I definitely think I should win because tomorrow is my birthday and Ella would look adorable in one of those shirts.
I’ve been enjoying the blog with all of Norah’s pictures! She is a cutie pie as Nathan would say.

Hello Alison, I found your site via Amanda Norris (a high school classmate of mine). I LOVE your photography work. I have two small children and like to look at other sites for ideas for portraits of my children. Thanks for sharing! (Love your labs too! We have two as well!)

I’m glad your comments are fixed. I tried to leave a comment a while back and thought it was my lack of computer savvy to figure out what was wrong. Anyway, love the shirts from Maggie Moo!!

I think it’s awesome that you are doing a giveaway. I love your blog. Little Norah is absolutely beautiful!! What a perfect little model!
