These are my friends Jessica & Tarik! They are Christian and wonderful and hoping to adopt a bi-racial baby boy! Check out their profile ( i took many of the pictures:) They are working through Lifetime adoptions , which i hear is great! I know this sweet family will be fabulous with any adoption situation too! Jessica has 4 adopted siblings and her and Tarik have twin girls and he is a pediatrician and she stays at home. Both have degrees and stay active and fit! Just love these too!

We had such a fantastic visit! When Phil and Dawn got into town we went out to one of our fav. restaurants, Los Dos Portrillos, for some fab. Mexican cuisine! The Next day we went Up to Evergreen area to a stocked Fishing pond and Had tons of fun catching BIG trout! Phil, Brandon and I helped Brielle & Aria reel them in while Dawn helped out with Gavin and putting bait on and such. We cranked in tons with this awesome bait too! Mini Man slept the majority of the time :) Brielle had the biggest catch of the day 18.5 inches and 3.5 lbs! This is not the biggest one but, it was a good sized one! Our Lovely Grandma Dawn! Here's one of the bigger one! aria squirmed a bit when it wiggled and flopped around! We had fun cleaning them and then Phil and Brandon cooked them up well that night! P & D were able to come through on the way back too! We already miss them!

are hoping for an adoption miracle! These two are sweet and fun and Jess is a terrific lady that i love! You couldn't find a better gal around! Check them out here! Oh and check out all the new families that have been added on the side bar! Maybe you will find your match there! ( p.s. If you personally know me, please shoot me an email and i will feature your link there and spotlight you!)

SO... We just had a FANTASTIC visit with Gavin's Birth Father, Dustin and Tammy , his mother (now referred to as Grandma Tammy, which will be slightly confusing b/c Jessica's Stepmom is also Grandma Tami!)! I will post about it soon as well as the Visit with Our daughter's Birth grandparent visit as well. I feel totally LOVED and BLESSED with all these wonderful people and now i need to make new onesies for Gavin that say stuff like: My Birth Parents ROCK! If you think I'm cute, you should see my Birth Parents! I'm Legendary and so are my Birth Parents! BM+BD= AWESOMENESS, I'm loved by Many... Parents, Birth Parents. grandparents, birth grandparents, you want me to keep going? ...And so forth! They will turn out schweet! So excited to post more!

Hi, my name is Traci and I have been asked to write down our adoption story... So here goes. I have to admit that I am not quite sure where to start. I feel that I have personally seen adoption from pretty much every avenue; my little brother is adopted, my best friend placed a child for adoption, I have numerous nieces and nephews who are all adopted, and then my husband, Jake, and I have chosen to grow our family also through adoption. I think I am just going to start with the journey Jake and I have had through adoption, its heart break, its endless roller coaster of emotions, and its happy endings. Jake and I were married in 2001 when we were 19 years old. We knew we were young and we didn't want to have kids right away, but because of some health issues with myself, we knew we couldn’t wait forever to start trying. So we waited until we were 21, then I went off birth control. That seems easy enough, until it wasn’t. We gave it a good year and then sought out help. My first...

Our Lil' Man is finally growing a bit... He is way ahead in the developmental areas. Like he could roll over at 10 weeks, slept through the night at 8 weeks, has great stability and strength and is already trying to crawl ( not super successful) by grabbing onto the carpet and wiggling his toes to scoot. He gets about 1-2 inches forward. And his hand eye coordination is that of a 6 month old. He is constantly smiling and giving good belly laughs now! He squeals and blows raspberries and get excited when he hears his own voice! On the charts he is pretty small though. He is 3% in weight at 11.4 lbs ( he needs to stop working out, i guess) 2% in head circumference, and 31% in length at 24.25 inches! To US - He's perfect and if you see his birth dad- He is tall and lean too! He is SUCH AN EASY BABY! And He eats like 7-8 ounces each feeding! Big eater. Oh, and he is eating some oatmeal now:) He devours it and tries to lick the bib clean! (honestly, he really does, it's hilar...

I am urging you all to search your hearts! Infants are only a fraction of the children who need a permanent home! We will venture into foster adoption this upcoming spring and everyday I wonder what sweet child/ren will teach us when this day comes. I'm not naive! I know it will be difficult but, all good things are challenging and I chose to Help Children, not forget that they are there waiting and needing families like us!
