Tears of Joy

Motherhood is a wonderful experience, filled with joys and sorrows, frustrations and fulfillment. For many the desires for motherhood started from childhood with little girls playing with their dolls. Others have motherhood thrust on them, but after accepting it—find it was one of the best parts of their life. The bond for some mothers starts the moment they feel their baby move inside them, for others it may be the moment their baby is placed in their arms for the first time, and others it may take a while till the overwhelming feeling of this new responsibility passes and they start to build a relationship with this child who is totally reliant on them.

But motherhood is not just restricted to the mothers who give birth. The bond with an adopted child can be just as strong. A mother who adopts a child has usually been through many different means to try to have one the natural way. When that doesn’t succeed, her desire to share that love moves her to seek out a child she can bond with. Many adoptive mothers say that same bond comes the day that dream is realized and the baby is placed in their arms.

Then there are the stories—and with children they never stop. The changes they make, the cute things they do or say. The progress they make and the mannerisms that they take on, both bad and good—that are just like you. For a while the parents may look as the children as extension of themselves. But soon they realize they each child emerges with their own personality. Learning their personality and watching it develop is one of the joys of parenthood. Being a part of training and helping that child develop is the reward you are given as a parent. When the child is an adult, they may not be what you pictured, but in the end, the good you see in them is a reflection of you. Through those years you may have had to go through some heartache and gray hairs, but if it ends in a good person, many parents feel it was well worth it.

Tears Of Joy Baby Flier

Here is what our customers say:
"I loved working with Tears of Joy Video! I have such a beautiful video of my son’s “edited” birth and our first favorite pictures of him! I have watched it over and over and I still get TEARS every time I see it! I treasure it so much. I am able to share it with my friends and family who were not able to be present during that time, and that means so much to them. They all say they wished they had their special events in a video montage like mine. And I tell them that it was so easy…I have this special work of art all just by sending a CD of my favorite pictures and some recordings on a disc and Tears of Joy did the rest! Though I live a distance away - it was no problem for them to work with me. Their expertise and professionalism clearly show. I would recommend them to all who want their memories treasured for a lifetime."
