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.
