After the birth of our son Thomas, we couldn't imagine a child growing up without a mom & dad. We postponed having another biological child because God was guiding us to adopt an orphan. Our journey started locally & we ended up adopting a 2 year old out of a Siberian orphanage! The call became loud & clear & this is our story. It's written to share our adventure - the fears, the joys, the challenges & to rejoice in the miracle of adoption.

At home mommy to 1 biological 6 year old boy and 1 adopted 5 year old boy from a russian orphanage 3 years ago. The plan was to have more biological children after our adoption but we experienced 3 unexpected miscarriages. This blog is about how my life's plan changed and how are hearts adjusted. We are excited to be waiting to adopt an infant girl from the US.

They look so excited. I love how Andrey is adoring his new Thomas the train toy. I see Thomas helped out with the baking...love his apron.
Sure thing, Jeanette... the comment thing should be fixed now!
