Tougher than you think

When I started this adventure in "blog world" I was so excited to be able to share our story with the world! It was easy at first. As I retell the story, much of the pain resurfaces when I speak of my girls and the seperation from their family. Christmas can be a difficult time of year for everyone, particularly those that have been adopted.

Christmas is truly the time of giving, but over the years, I have often asked why it is so concentrated on one time of the year!? I remember our first Christmas with the girls and their brother. We put up our tree in our living room and every inch was literally covered with gifts.. Mostly from the DFACS warehouse.

As we are approaching our 11th anniversary of the finalization of our adoption, I am amazed at the changes that have taken place in all of our lives.

I look forward to continuing our journey... little by little...
