In the arms of Love....but waiting - there's more!!!

Our Journey of Love to with Emma Grace!
 
 
Over three months ago we started a new journey as a family of 3 - our journey of love with Emma Grace - home at last.  None of us are the same person we were 3 months ago.  We have all had to make changes, adjustments and sacrifices in order to move forward with our new life together....forever.  Whether these things happened automatically, naturally or out of  necessity; none of our lives will ever be what they were before......  
 
The child who landed at Newark Airport on August 15, 2012 is no where to be seen.  In her place is a little girl who has blossomed in to a bright, well-adjusted, happy child who expresses joy freely without hesitation,  has the most unabashed sense of humor and a giggle and laugh that lets us know this girl knows she's where she belongs.  Although her transition will continue for quiet some time,  Emma Grace continues to amaze and enchant all who meet her. 
 
We have watched as other families  travel to China for their waiting children........and  we continue to stay in touch with many new forever families; watching as they flourish more and more each day.  Adoption is BEAUTIFUL!! 

Today is November, 30th  -  the last day of National Adoption month for 2012.  A slogan I have really enjoyed this past month is "If there is room in the heart, there is room at the table".  If you have ever considered adoption for your own family, please take that first step.  If it is not for you - please consider helping others who want to but can not afford the finances.  There are also many  organizations (such as Love Without Boundaries) who need your help - their life work and purpose is for the waiting children .

Just never say NEVER........as you just might surprise yourself adding another spoon and fork at your dinner table real soon!!
