Welcome to the blog sharing the journey we are on of growing our family through adoption, as well as what life is like after the adoption has finalized.

There is a section where you can read some FAQs, check out the process we will be going through...as well as the blog posts filled with humor, joy, as well as probably some frustrations along the way!

Once again, welcome and let's enjoy the ride!!

first impressions

so we met the boyz tonight...wow and wow. their foster mom had been showing them pictures of us that we had sent so that within 25 minutes they had both recognized us and called us dada and mama...and we managed to not wither into a giant puddle of tears :) leaving them tonight was hard, real hard...we helped (read watched) put them to bed then headed to Mandy's folks for the night and just smiled as we relayed every story we could remember...

this was an amazing night...we got to hold them, read them stories, i was a horsey and took them on rides, Domninick told me he loved football...tear...Richard just wanted to be cuddled, and Dominick gave both Mandy and I our first present...Dominick spit water in my face (we were playing) and placed a boogie in Mandy's hand. i think that makes it official.

these next few days are going to be lots of fun, and quite the challenge as the transition continues, but we are blessed beyond measure...as their foster mom said, "i don't think tonight could have gone any better."
