Oh, how I would love to compose an adoption ceremony for this new mother!

Take a second to read Betsy Sather’s story – she just became the mother of two year old Haitian twins that survived the earthquake. Amazing. It is one of the most uplifting stories I’ve heard arise out of the devastation. I wish Betsy and her toddlers complete health and joy in their story as a family.

When an individual or family adopts children, it is without doubt a life changing and deeply meaningful turning point for the newly formed family. At Sweetgrass, one of the most joyful services I provide involves helping new families push the ‘pause’ button for a moment in time – to create memorable ceremonies for celebrating adoption and blessing babies. Pausing to savor the love and hope of such a tender moment in a family’s history is a beautiful experience.

Enjoy this uplifiting story!
