Meet D & T - Our Kind of Wonderful

Meet D and T

This is long overdue, as we had this video done in December, but I’m finally getting around to sharing it now. Meet our “twins,” D & T! A is the best big sister and adores them both, and they are so patient with her in return. We love our little family, and are so in […]

Adoption is Hard

Adoption is the hardest thing I’ve ever done, and I’ve been through a lot in my life. When I tell people that, they just smile.

I Get To Be the One - Our Kind of Wonderful

I Get To Be the One

If you’ve never heard this song, you’re going to want to grab a tissue and get ready to ugly cry. At first listening to this song I was overcome with sadness for A’s birth mom, that I was getting all of these things for this little girl that we all love so much. But, then […]

We are Strong - Our Kind of Wonderful

We are STRONG

Something we’ve learned through this whole process of adopting A, and now trying to adopt again, is that we are STRONG. Adoption is harder than we ever thought, and also more rewarding than we ever thought. We worked with Pace Made Designs to design this shirt, and we hadn’t even mentioned the word strong to […]
