November 1st marks the beginning of November, which is also Adoption Awareness Month. For those who know us best, know adoption has been in hearts for a very long time. We knew we would adopt by our 3rd date. This journey has changed our lives and we can confidently say we will continue to add to our family by means of adoption. Recently at a adoption support/parenting group, we met a woman who adopted her 2 daughters from China, now 8 & 10 years old. She held back tears when she spoke of how she responded to people who were curious about her daughters' Chinese heritage and why they were adopted...her words were so simple...no matter how a child joins a family, whether it be biological, surrogacy, foster to adopt, or international adoption, EVERY child is a miracle and deserves to be LOVED....
We know adoption isn't for every family, but there are always ways to play an important role in an orphan's life: Did you know you can sponsor a sweet baby in China through Love Without Boundaries? Sponsor a child in China Did you know in Austin, TX area there are more than 5 foster home programs where you can donate goods, and more importantly your time? Austin Foster Home
After sending our dossier to China we joined a Facebook support group (more to come on this topic) it has been beyond a blessing and one of the Mommas wrote the best quote and I had to steal it (with her permission of course).

Simply stated and clear, there are so many ways adoption can touch your hearts! And if you need any additional information about an area close to home, feel free to comment below and I would love to help you! With each adoption...One less orphan, One complete family, and so much love....
