Hi,
Welcome to my adoption blog. While adoption will be the main focus here you can count on me to interject other items for discussion. I guess I should let everyone know how I arrived her at adoptions front door. Well, here is the long and the short of it....I have had several relationships that never ended in marriage and I didn't feel that IVF was for me, but I have always known that I wanted children. So, adoption. I have always thought about adoption and in the end I think that it is somewhere that God has been leading me to for a long time. I kept telling myself I would start the adoption when I felt things were "right" or "perfect". Everyone knows that there is never a "perfect" time for anything. The old saying that life happens while your waiting or something like that is appropriate here. The moment the adoption became crystal clear to me was one winter night in February. I was in my office reading the Drudge Report and one story jumped out at me. Orphaned babies in a hospital in Yekaterinburg, Russia were having their mouths taped shut so that they couldn't cry. I really feel that it was God smacking me on the head.... telling me that time was ticking away and now was the time to act. I heard him loud and clear and I started to research international adoption that very night.So here I am waiting to meet my Claire, who currently lives in Russia.
Below is the link to the story that jump started my life and put it on another track.
