Our story

Dennis & I (Darlene) have created this blog to share with all of our friends and family our journey to adopt. The journey began when we met, fell in love and our desire to begin our family. We struggled for 6 years unsuccessfully to have children. Talk of adoption was something we had always considered and in April of 2007 we thought heaven had opened up when we were introduced to a birth mother who wanted to have us adopt her son. After several months of supporting her and her other child throughout the pregnancy our dreams fell apart when the birth mother scammed us not only out of our money but broke our hearts into a million pieces. Dennis was left to pick up the pieces and has reassured me every step of the way with his love and never ending devotion to our dreams of having a family.

Dennis and I started the long process of adopting from Kazakhstan and in 2008 we meet our son Nicholas.

We are now beginning the long process to adopt a sibling for Nicholas and it looks like Russia is where we will be heading next and hope in 2010 we meet our child!

We hope you will join us on our journey as we will do all our updating on this site. As always your love, prayers, good wishes & support mean the world to us. Thank you for being such an important part of our lives.

Showers & Showers of love.......

What a wonderful surprise awaited me in the office on Tuesday afternoon.
My department along with so many others from our office showered me with so many very wonderful gifts for Nicholas!

Thank you is just not enough to express how truly touched I am.

The happiness and joy over our son by everyone is just so wonderful and I was so overwhelmed the next day when I went around to say thank you to everyone I was so emotional that at times I couldn't even speak...........

I will forever be touched by how wonderful everyone has been to our family that saying thank you is just not enough.................

Our home is filled with plenty of love and so many beautiful gifts for Nicholas!

And this is what our house looked like after the Showers...........








And a great big red wagon for our little one!
