I feel really strongly to share this right now especially as it’s #nationaladoptionmonth something that’s been heavy on my heart lately. Sometimes people find out our kids are adopted and they ask really prying questions. Like they ask about their bio parents. They ask about if there were drugs involved. They ask too much. I’m always uncomfortable sharing but in fear of being accused of being rude i share a little bit vaguely. but here is the thing.... if you are a child of an alcoholic do you tell people the minute you meet them? Do you ask a kid who you just met that isn’t adopted if their parents do drugs? It’s an implication of less than when you can ask personal things you wouldn’t ask someone else. Their story is theirs. They have lost so much before they were even born. They have lost the chance to sit at the dinner table and see their own eyes looking back at them. As much as we love and will continue to love they will never see themselves in us. They aren’t lucky. They were given a rough hand when they were most tender and innocent. I have such a deep maternal nature to protect them with all i have and that includes their story. You don’t tell everyone all your yuck the day you meet them. Please don’t ask me to tell you theirs. #protect #adoptionawareness #lifetimehealingadoption

#tbt #1993 #mademoisellemagazine #nyc #fashion #retro Ok so this was my first job after a week in NYC. Everyone on set was a big deal but me the 14 year old from Arizona. I always loved this shoot. I only had two shots in the story and no solo shots but i didn’t care it was fun and these photos are timeless. #madhatter

“Woah who made that” Alfonso asked pointing while looking out the window at a mountain. “God did” I answered as we drove down the road. “Who’s God?” He asked. 😐 Now before you start worrying about little A’s eternity just know we pray to Jesus every night. I guess maybe I use Jesus a little more than God, especially in conversing with little people. “God is Jesus” I responded as I faced the road not him, “super Jesus?!” He asked. “Yup!” 😆 #superjesus #parenting #godandtoddlers
