In the Beginning...

Foreword

 Cory and I have been together forever...well, actually, it has only been 7 years, but it seems like an eternity. Here is the condensed version. We have both gone back to school twice, changed professions 3 times, taught 2 teenagers to drive, watched them both graduate, moved 3 times, had a daughter that was stillborn at 28 weeks, a miscarriage, and our son who has Down syndrome had open heart surgery at 6 months. Whew!  So, now that things have started to settle down we have decided to adopt a sister for Tait.

 Let me elaborate. I have a friend who is in the process of adopting another child and while I was looking at the adoption site I came across a picture of this adorable little girl who is 2. I immediately started to cry and I just knew that we needed her as much as she needed us. Sounds corny, I know. Well here is the kicker, I decided to show her profile to Cory who is the more logical and rational one, knowing that he would just grunt and tell me we can't afford an adoption...blah, blah, blah. Surprisingly, his response was, "When can we go get her?"

 Needless to say, I did some research and talked to a few people who have experience in this area and contacted the adoption agency. So, here we are. We have started the process and everyday I think of this sweet little girl on the other side of the world and long to hold her in my arms. I can't wait for Tait to have a sister to play with and probably fight with. I love to see the twinkle in Cory's eye just like the one he has when he talks about "Tait's sister". 

 My intention is to try to document our journey for anyone who would like to follow along. So join us.
