My family blog...

Welcome to my blog! It's a work in progress which i started in the very early days of our adoption process with our daughter, Emma. It's been an amazing road for us. Emma came home with us from Guatemala at 4 1/2 months and she is now 4 years old and a growing, joyous, beautiful, adventurous toddler! This blog is to keep up with her and us as a family; and to show that i will take a photo at any and every opportunity that i get!

Please let me know you stopped by to visit!

I realized from the start that whether a child is a biological child or a adopted child, one does not know all the ingredients in the package. That is what growth is all about. A child is the slowest flower in the world, opening petal by petal, revealing the developing personality within.

It has been said that adoption is more like a marriage than a birth: two (or more) individuals, each with their own unique mix of needs, patterns, and genetic history, coming together with love, hope, and commitment for a joint future. You become a family not because you share the same genes, but because you share love for each other.

there's one certain test.
You must look for the creature
who loves you the best."

People ask me: “What about gay adoptions? Interracial? Single Parent?” I say, “Hey fine, as long as it works for the child and the family is responsible.” My big stand is this: EVERY child deserves a home and love. Period.

Words of Wisdom....

"People are like stained glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in; their true beauty is revealed only if there is light from within."
