How it all began....

I've always held a respect for families that chose to adopt.  And I've always viewed families with any child with special needs as blessed.  Chosen, if you will.  I never for a moment thought we would find ourselves in the adoption process, for two children, from a foreign country, both of which have "special needs."  Yet here we are.

As a young woman I wanted a large family, 5 children to be exact.  Three boys, two girls, evenly spaced about 2-3 years apart.  Maybe you can relate to having it all figured out.  And then LIFE took different directions than I envisioned in my naive youth.
