An ongoing tale of our most excellent (and terrifying) adventure yet.. adoption via foster care. This is a journey Darling Husband and I started with Nantie ("Nanny-Auntie" - a blessing from above) in 2007. Although she moved in 2010, we miss her dearly and so appreciate all she did while here.
We also have a herd of rescued canines, fear the Lord and laugh a lot.
August, 2011: Seven amazing placements and a week after we were told LittleBuddy and SweetPea were available for us to adopt, my husband passed away unexpectedly.
April, 2012: I had the honor of adopting my darling 7 year old son (Little Buddy) and 3 1/2 year old sister (SweetPea). I awoke the following day a 40something, widowed single mommy... and couldn't of been happier.
In 1999, a year after my own mother passed away I found out I, myself, was an adopted county baby. Life has some ironic twists but we all seem to come

Ok, so...I've FINALLY read your entire blog. Whew - what a (mega interesting and heart-warming) ride!
I'm so sorry about the passing of your Dad. I'm so touched that you were able to connect and bring some peace, love and healing to your relationship.
I think you have one of the biggest hearts ever. There's something about you that just yanks me in. (Numerous thoughts and reasons as to why.)
Also, while reading your blog, I kept going - in my mind - to two little brothers that are in foster care, that I know (I know of their foster home and respite home...which is where I see them often). There is a 6 year old and a 2 year old. I despise their foster home - respite ROCKS. (Yes, they ARE safe and generally taken very good care of, especially the baby. They aren't in danger...nor do they lack care.) Because of the 6 year old's issues...he acts out often...and has been labelled with severe ADHD (which I completely disagree with!). He's just a sweet soul that has been through so much abuse (not to mention he was the 'parent'/'dad' to his little brother) and just wants to be wanted and loved. Breaks my freakin' heart, to say the least. And, all I can do is love on them as much as possible when I do see them...especially the 6 year old.
My point? I wish they had a home like YOURS to go to.
I'm thrilled to have come across your blog and am stoked to continue to read your journey!
Hugs.
