Brian, Christine, & Our Boys

Irving Berlin's "Count Your Blessings Instead of Sheep" captures our feelings about family and adoption. We spent years praying for our family. Many nights were spent "counting sheep" rather than consider the blessings we were given. The lyrics “I think about a nursery- if you're worried, can't sleep count blessings instead of sheep” Children have been withheld for a time, but hope cometh of faith. We will find our missing family members.

Merry Christmas



Merry Christmas!
I have a profound love for my Heavenly Father and his beautiful gift of my Savior. I love the peace and wonder of Christmas time to celebrate the birth of HIS son.

Through Him it is possible for my family to be an eternal family. To know of a surety that these little boys were meant to be in our family. My heart overflows with gratitude and the daily tender mercies received that help me.
How wonderful this Christmas season to have my little family here!

I have been blessed for Christmas 2009 and Christmas 2010 to anticipate the birth of a baby. It has brought a meaning of Christmas that is difficult to describe. I marvel at the shepherds who believed and shared their testimony which encouraged me to believe. Believe have faith and hope that my desire to be a mother would be fulfilled. To consider Mary and her favor with God as one of his choice daughters.

The wise men who followed the star Joseph who ultimately as an adoptive father was chosen to be the guardian of such a sacred child. What better hero can my boys have than a chosen child who also has a wonderful adoption story too. My hope and prayer is that Brian and I can continue to follow Him and raise our boys to keep their testimony.
Faith Hope and Love
Merry Christmas!
