Happy Valentine's Day!

Welcome back to Taylor Talks!

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! I hope that you've all had an enjoyable day with loved ones, whether they be your significant other, children, siblings, or parents!
Well my dad continued his tradition! I woke up to a box full of Hershey's kisses and he had gotten candy for my brother, sister, and mom, and adorable stuffed animals for my little sisters. It was such a nice way to wake up!

In honor of this holiday about love, I thought I'd share a memory about my sister's adoption. On days when she's driving me crazy (she is a teenage girl after all), it's helpful to think about days when she made me extremely happy.

My sister was adopted when she was in first grade. It was a huge deal for her (as it was for the whole family) and her teacher really made a big deal out of it at school. She was thrilled to get dressed up in a fancy dress on the day of the adoption, and her teacher even came to the adoption along with all of our close family and friends. After the morning at the courthouse, everyone went out to a nice lunch to celebrate. My mom's best friend and her husband were named my sister's Godparents (even though we're not super religious, we all still have Godparents) and my sister cherishes the relationship she has with them to this day. It was a beautiful day and it was wonderful to have my sister become an official part of the family. I'm so glad that she's my sister, even if she does annoy me every once in a while. That's what sisters are for, right?

I’d greatly appreciate it if you would share this blog with friends and family through your favorite social media sites. If you’re sharing on Twitter, don’t forget to tag me (@TayTayK02) and use the hashtag #TaylorTalks.

Thanks!
Taylor

    Picture
    My family started doing foster care when I was three years old. We took in nineteen children over the course of eighteen years, with our last placement leaving in December 2014. I'm the only biological child in my family, though my parents adopted five of my siblings.

    I love to share my perspective on the foster care system and share how my unique upbringing shaped my life.

    I'm also a Cast Member at Walt Disney World and lover of all things Disney! My career allows me the opportunity to find a little bit of Magic in life every day.


    I enjoy sharing my journey as a writer as well. Find my children's books on Amazon and keep following my blog for updates on future books that I'll be releasing!
