Our Journey

We invite you, our friends and families to follow along with us on our journey to bring home the newest additions to our forever family. I believe everything happens for a reason and I know that the newest additions to our familiy are out there somewhere waiting for us to be matched. We have followed our hearts and that has lead us on a wonderful journey to a wonderful country "Ethiopia". We look forward to the day when we are able to finally go and meet in person and bring our littleones home forever.

We hope you can all be here with us through the tears and laughter as we move through our adoption journey.

love & kisses

This morning.....

This morning I came out of the bathroom and found.......


Cohen was so excited to show Oreo his new stickers that he just had to share one with him. Funny thing was he did not even seem to mind and spent the morning following us around with a sticker on the top of his head.
I think we're in trouble when it's time for Oreo to go home!

Votes

Well, the votes are coming in and there seems the majority is guessing that we will get a referral for 2, so I hope you are right! It also looks like people think we will get a referral for 2 boys and that it will be in or around Christmas........ All I can say is I hope hat it is a referral for 2 healthy children, does not matter to me whether it is boy or girl, BUT, PLEASE,PLEASE, PLEASE, can we have referral by Christmas??!!?!??!! I have prepared myself to have to wait till Christmas, but I can't promise I will be able to hold myself together much past that date! By Christmas we will have been waitig for a match for 13.5 months and signed on with CAFAC and started the paper Work 610 days ago ( April 2007 - 20 months). Not that I'm counting!

So, if you have not voted yet, please scroll down and do so!

Hope everyone is doing well!

Houseguest

My son is on cloud 9 with the addition of our new houseguest. He is tickles pink to have Oreo "cookie" as he calls him staying with us. Oreo is a 12 yr old cat! My son is elated......he has been wanting a cat for the longest time so this will be a small test. Oreo will stay with us while his owners are out of town and thanks to Oreo Cohen has gone to sleep in his own bed for the past 2 nights. As soon as we crawl into bed the cat comes and lays at the foot of his bed. Cohen wiggles and giggles with excitement and then is out.......off to dreamland! Who would have thought it could be this easy!?!?!?!

Let's have a little fun with this wait!!

I thought to have a little fun we could do an adoption pool (like a baby pool!). Please click on comments and put a guess as to whether or not you think we will get referred 1 or 2 and whether you think it will be boy(s) or girl(s), that ages you predict AND when you think we will get the referral.
