Hey everyone! Welcome to the new look on the blog. After almost three years of blogging, I have a new look thanks to a giveaway I won! I have one small kink I need to smooth out on this blog, but otherwise this is it!
I plan to keep this adoption blog open even though we have already adopted for a few reasons:
1. We may adopt again one day
2. For Xiomara's birthmom, "J". While we haven't shared this blog with her yet, we may in the future.
3. I don't feel like God is finished here yet. Not sure what that means, but I'm following Him on this one.
Feel free to look around while you are here. I've finally added a link to our adoption story, but still need to write it. I also added a contact page for those of you who have questions about our journey. Also, I've slowly been going over my old posts and adding labels to them so you can look up a topic by label.
I think that's it! Hope you enjoy reading and that your life is touched even greater through adoption.

I love it!! I hope your keep blogging here, even if it is just posting links and resources!
ReplyDeleteThank you Gen! A big part of what I am thinking is doing just that as I know so many people want resources for adoption but don't know where to turn to.
