Hello, and welcome to my blog. I am a single mom of two wonderful young girls that I adopted. I felt a strong calling to be a mom and tried every option currently available with my second husband. Ultimately it became clear that I was not meant to have any biological children. My second husband gave me a wonderful daughter when we got married and even though are not legally or biologically related she is no less my daughter. She has blessed me with a handsome grandson.

Even though my marriage did not work out, and it had become clear I would not have children the typical way my calling did not get any less strong. I still desperately wanted children. I had taken classes to be a foster parent and after the separation I pursued doing this by myself. It took a while to find AJ and Vera, but the day came when I got the phone call that there were two little girls that needed a home.

It was a long, heartbreaking and scary journey while I raised them as my own even though they could be taken from me at any time and given back to their biological family. I prayed that the right answer would be identified for them and knew that if that meant I lost them I would have to trust in God that it was what was right.

After over a year of being in limbo the adoption was finalized and they were mine. Little did I know that this was just the beginning of the journey. Over the last three years the girls have brought me much joy and many tears of sadness for what they have to endure because of the poor choices the adults in their previous life made.

This blog is just a glimpse of my journey. I hope enjoy.
