4 years ago this weekend my sister and I made a 5 hour drive which changed my life.
I'd been alone.
Single.
And extremely bored.
The October before my parents had recieved a phone call saying that the adopted children that they had's Birthmom had had a little girl she was 5 months old.
Would my parents be able to take her or know any one who would.
My parents were unable to say yes.
But I was already planning on adopting.
I had not done the paper-work as I was trying to finish my house.
But this was a chance I did not want to miss.
So I rushed the paperwork through in order to get her....and then waited, and waited, and waited.
June of that year...I got another call. The birth-mom had another baby a little boy...could I take him too.
I was scared to raise a boy on my own.
But God told me to do it.
I continued to wait. And Thursday before Labor day weekend I was told to come get them.
My life has never never been the same. And I can NOT imagine life without my Princess & Handsome Dude.

Congratulations
Good job MOM. (That's you)
They look wonderful in your arms.
Wow! I didn't realize you were single when you adopted the first ones... Guess that took care of the being single and bored rather quickly.
They are absolutely gorgeous, and they are so blessed to be loved so much by you and your wonderful husband! What a family!!!
Awww! Happy anniversary celebration to you ALL!
Happy Homecoming Day!!! I LOVE that picture of the three of you!
I had tears in my eyes reading your story. Thank you for sharing it with us. It takes a brave woman to take on 2 little ones as a single, but "With God, all things are possible!" How special your family is!!
