We thought maybe it would make our lives so miserable, we would get wanting kids out of our system. I never dared to believe, we would actually build a family this way. And I never expected to love it as much as I do. Now we just hope to help as many kids and families as possible along the way to building our forever family. I dream of adopting 3 to 4 little ones and hope to help at least 50 other along the way.

We spent many years and blew more money than I'd like to admit but don't look at it as failed attempts but rather, it wasn't meant to be as our children weren't born yet/and you are just waiting to find them (or that is what I have always told myself).
