As Time goes by..Two years ago

As Time goes by...  

Two years ago.  How our family was defined was forever changed.  Just as it was that wonderful day eight years ago when we took you home and you became apart of our family.  A defining moment when a child becomes a part of your family.  A defining moment when a child no longer is allowed to be apart of your family.

Yet when asked how many children we have.  We have three.  Our girls still have a brother.  He does not live with us.  Yes sometimes it is easier to brush over ackward explanations.  But that does not change that when you were grafted into our family you became apart of our family forever. Forever in our hearts.  Distance may separate us but our love for you remains.  We release you to love, laugh, learn, to grow, to experience all that life has for you.

As time goes by we have experienced loss and we have experienced life.

Our extended family has once again been blessed with more children.  Once again redefining our family..  We are excited to welcome this new one. Our new niece who joins our family from China.  Those who have never adopted may not understand that Family is not defined by DNA.  Family are the ones you welcome into your hearts and homes. And Just as we welcomed Jared into our family eight years ago.  We welcome this new one.  Forever in our family forever in our hearts.
