  • 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!!
