Neil and Tanya are Hoping to Adopt Once More

09/04/2015

It was a year ago this weekend that we met our son for the first time. I remember hating Labor Day for the first time as it meant one more day we had to wait to bring him home (per the agency). Look at us now! Thank you all for continuing to spread the word. Have a fun and fabulous weekend!

Hi Everyone! Could you please do our little family a favor? Please spread the word to everyone you know and meet to check us out in the hopes it brings us a connection to someone choosing for her child. Please let people in your family, workplace, circle of friends, church and community know! Thank you so much in advance for your help; have a great week!

I know some of you that are following our journey are hoping to adopt yourselves and as you are well aware, this journey is not for the faint of heart. After a fairly intense week, this read was a welcome respite for me tonight. I hope it brings you peace, encouragement and the knowledge that you got this!

While we’re all unique and the paths the led us to adopting a child may be different, I believe many of us have similar hearts.

Even Molly (our small dog) plays a role in our family. This time it's being a pillow.

This morning as we walked into swimming lessons, I heard a little guy ask his Mom, "is that his real mom"?

If I may, please teach the children in your life that Mommies, Daddies and even Sisters and Brothers come in all shapes, colors and sizes and that is part of what makes for a beautiful family. Thanks for allowing me to share; have a wonderful day!

We find this especially fitting for us right now. Have a beautiful day; Happy Wednesday!

For those of you that don't know, updating your Home Study is nearly as laborious and time-consuming as doing it the first time. So since we can see the finish line, it was time to take a break and reward ourselves with a movie.

I just got done putting this up on one of our living room walls and I love how it turned out. More than that though, I love the message. Have a beautiful day!

It's your feel good, warm heart, big smile story for today. Enjoy and happy Wednesday!
