For Brent's Birth Family


This has been an exciting week for Brent. He has made contact with his birth mother, a sister and brother. They all still live in Long Beach where Bill grew up and where we were living when we adopted him. I am posting a few pictures from his life so they can see what he looked like over the years. We have been blessed to have him as our son and are grateful they allowed us to be his parents.

This was the picture we used for our Christmas card in 1974. Brent was 9 weeks old.

This is Brent at 6 months.

Here is Brent at 2 1/2 with his little dog Peaches.

Brent with his sister Heather around Christmas time. He ws 5 1/2 and she was 18 months.

Another Christmas card picture for 1984. Brent was 10 and Heather was 6.

This family portrait was taken in 1988. Brent was 14 and Heather was 10.

This was one of Brent's senior pictures. He was 17. He turned 18 the August after he graduated.

Brent and Amanda with Sadie and Hannah in Salt Lake City in 2003.

Here is our whole family (minus Rebekah) when we took everyone to Disneyland in December 2008.

I didn't even know he was looking. I am happy for him. More people to love.
