Why A Blog

Why a Blog, because WE ARE ADOPTING!

My hope is that this blog will record our amazing journey, keep family and friends up to date on our process, and answer questions.

I plan to make our blog public in hopes of “paying it forward”, if it were not for the families who have gone before and blogged about it. This adopting Momma may not be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Now on to what everyone wants to hear, The Adoption. We are adopting from South Korea. We are adopting a little girl. And we are all done with our paper work and we are now just waiting to be matched with our child.

Why adoption? Short answer, it is the absolute best way for us to add to our family. The long answer, after becoming parents we knew we wanted to add to our family. We had a PLAN as to how becoming parents for the second time was going to go. It was a good plan. We would have exactly 2.5 years between each child we had. We added to THE PLAN, that since we had one Winter Baby we would then have our next one be a Summer Baby. So we put THE PLAN into action (so to speak). Well as Life continues to Teach me no matter how much I would love to control MY universe there are just some things that do not go according to plan.

Being just a tad bit impatient, I decided we needed a NEW PLAN. Our new plan was adopting. To us adoption is such a WIN-WIN situation. Our family would grow with the love of another child. A child would have what I believe every child DESERVES a Family. And a Birthmother would have the peace knowing that her unselfish choice brought immeasurable love to others and hopefully peace to her.

We had the NEW PLAN all in place. Application - check. Agency - check. Country - Check. We were ready to go. But as I mentioned earlier, PLANS do not always go according to THE PLAN or THE NEW PLAN. We were expecting … This unexpected change of plans brought us our amazing wonderful L and he IS our summer baby.

Finally, THE PLAN came together and beautifully I might add.

Well since that PLAN came together so well and without a hitch, just like I planned it. We were on to a New Plan, which was the old NEW PLAN. We altered our plan just a bit.

New Agency – Check. New Country – Check. Application in the mail – Check. We were ready! So there you have it. Stay Tune.
