All aboard

Hi! I am new to the blogging world. I have already typed out a nice little intro, and there was an error. No big deal, but a little frustrating. Mostly at trying to remember what I was saying.

So, I wanted to give a little background as to why I am here, trying to figure out how to do this (I am much better at paper writing). A long time ago, my parents adopted me. I grew up always knowing I was adopted. I had several friends that were also adopted. I always felt very special, and very wanted. I was spoiled! My parents waited a while before I came along :) I have two brothers, one who is also adopted, and one who is a biological son of my parents.

I have two children, both boys. My second child was born with an extra chromosome. That little extra has sure added a lot of extra in our lives! Maybe over time, I will journal about the road in detail from there to here. I have always wanted to anyway (before my mind has completely forgotten the details).

The shorter version of the story - a few years ago, I came across the Reece's Rainbow website. While I would spend hours crying over all the beautiful faces on my computer screen, praying that they would all find homes, I was wondering what my place would be in their lives. After much prayer and soul searching, I knew that it was not my time and place to adopt, and I wanted to do more than just pray. I have been thinking about the Christmas Warriors, and I have decided that I would sign up! Now, that has not happened, yet (I think that might start next week?), and I am getting excited. I have spent some time looking through the pictures, and I am going to have to pray to find the one for me.

Welcome aboard my trip to help one or more or ALL of the children on Reece's Rainbow who are looking to find their forever family. I will talk more about all these topics -- especially Reece's Rainbow (RR) in the days or so to come (for all of you who may not have heard of this life changing organization!).

Well, I best be going to bed now. That morning alarm comes too early with school in session these days!
