An extreme outpouring of love: I’m sorry, dear friends, that I underestimated you. I truly expected people to ask why we were doing this. Or worse, people who were afraid to love our baby girl because of the inevitable loss (that we’re praying is years and years away). But that’s not what we found. We … Continue reading Things I Didn’t Expect

Welcome the newest edition to our family! In keeping with our theme here, let’s call her Wonder Woman. And she certainly is our little wonder. She came to us in a whirlwind of surprise and activity and we are thrilled to have her. The day before Thanksgiving we were told about two different special needs … Continue reading Welcome to the World Little One

This really is nonjudgemental and unbiased counseling. Our social worker told us that only about 1/3 of the mothers that come to Bethany … Continue reading Profile Books and Patiently Waiting

Superman is 3. That’s right folks, we’ve got a full fledged 3 year old on our hands. Which blows my mind because I can’t believe this crazy kid has been bringing joy into our lives for a full 3 years. Over the past year my son has become a very talkative and imaginative child able … Continue reading Home Study and Happy Birthday

I attribute that to their sleep deprived minds being unable to see reality clearly. But as I think about … Continue reading Crazy Trains and Time Wasters

Fundraising Update: We had our first fundraiser! The amazing Stacey of Cute E’s Photography hosted mini sessions and asked her clients to donate their session fees to us.

Because Stacey is such … Continue reading Snow Days and Slight Delays

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Christmas at the Robertson household was a blast. For only the 2nd time in our 10 Christmases together we did not travel to see family.
