Hello all. Just wanted to provide a brief update on a few things in relation to our adoption. To answer the obvious question, "no" we have not been matched yet. This November will be two years since we began the process. In some ways we are discouraged because the waiting has been hard, but we... Continue Reading →

One of our favorite shows on television is The Voice (SO much better than American Idol). On the most recent season the winner, Todd Tilghman, performed an original song entitled "Long Way Home". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEVl0_7Cs9k The lyrics from the song that really hit home for us can be seen below: "Sometimes dreams get lost.

So...this blog is coming out a few days later (and by days we mean weeks) than we promised, but for good reason. Once again we have had a flurry of activity over the past couple of weeks.
