We bought this outfit for Silas once we were matched with his Birth Mom and we had decided on his name. When you enter into a match in the adoption process a lot of things are up in the air. Silas' Birth mom could have changed her mind once he was born if she wanted to. Although our hearts would have been broken, you have to really think about the decision she made. Everyday Mothers give birth and take their babies home. This is normal. This is expected. In adoption, the unexpected happens. Mothers decide (for a lot of different reasons) that they aren't able to take care of the child they have given birth to. Because they love this child they choose to place it in someone else's arms. We are forever grateful to Silas' Birth Mom for the unexpected gift she gave us. And we happen to think he's pretty cute too!
Silas didn't end up wearing this outfit home with us because he didn't fit in it--oops! Too bad it's long sleeved! This may be the only time he wears it. Oh well! With how cute he looks in it, I'd say it was money well spent!
