A New Addition to Our Family

Some of you may have been a little busy checking out our new look and location, but if you’ll take a moment to look at my bio to the right you’ll see that something has changed. I am now the mother of three, not two, children.

Don’t worry. I didn’t go through a nine month pregnancy and childbirth without telling you.
My husband and I are adopting a 10 (soon to be 11) year old.
We met J while we were working at the group home last year. Sometimes in life you question God and wonder why He placed you in certain places in your life. Sometimes you’ll never know why. In this particular case, we know the reason. It was to help out this sweet young man.
I won’t share pictures of J until it’s closer to being official. And I must come up with a nickname for him! It just wouldn’t be right to have Alligator girl and Cuddlebug on here, but no nickname for J.
We start our home study today, so I need to get back to work! Have a great day everyone!



















Congratulations! That is wonderful.
Thanks Jenny. We’re pretty excited and he is doing well with the transition.
Congratulations! That’s so exciting. Blessings to J and the rest of your family.
That is so wonderful!
Congratulations… again!
I wrote a post… I’m extending the thank you to you… Because I remember.

Thanks Kori.
Congrats! That’s exciting news!
Congratulations! That is wonderful news. We will be praying for the family’s transition.

Congrats to you! He’s so fortunate that you found him.
SOOOOOO amazing! I am thrilled for your family.
Congrats and J will be so blessed to have a family like yours to take him in.
Can’t wait to see photos and the new family photo
Thanks everyone. He is doing well and adjusting well. They’re hoping to have the adoption complete by the end of summer. We’ll see what happens. There is a lot of paperwork to fill out, but we’ll get through it.
We can’t wait to meet him! DH and I are so excited for you guys. Looks like you will be in my shoes soon enough with a teenager in the house. Only, you will have the option of telling him what to do! I pray you will have better luck! But then again, you will have to pay for J’s college and I didn’t have to pay for mine.
