Hello everyone! I’ve missed you!
I took a temporary leave from here. It wasn’t easy. But, for the past few months, it was for the best. I felt an intense need for privacy to protect all of the parties involved in our adoption. I’m sure you can understand.
Here is a picture of me and my son. He is now three months old and he will be known on this blog as Rocky.
I was with him since before he was born. The circumstances under which I became his mom are nothing short of a miracle. After he was born, I received a card in the mail that said, “Miracles have a way of being worth the wait.” I’ve been repeating that quote over and over. I’ve said it out loud to whoever is listening or might need to hear it. Sometimes I just think about it in awe. I am sorry for being cryptic, as it’s not at all my style. It’s just that I have a lot to share and am so grateful to be finally inviting you back into my journey. How do I even begin to do justice to this amazing experience?
I suppose I should start at the beginning.


I am so unbelievably thrilled for you!!!!! What a blessing. I cannot wait to hear your story. He’s a handsome little guy.
Hugs & Kisses Forever
OH MY GOSH! What an amazing way to start off this Friday – with a happy ending (beginning?) for someone who more than deserves it! I can’t wait to hear the story but for now I’ll be content knowing you’re snuggling your baby boy!
That is wonderful!!! Congratulations!
Oh my gosh, congratulations a thousand times over!!! I have been thinking about you and was thrilled to see that you’d posted–then almost cried when I saw what it was! He is beautiful.
I have missed seeing your posts and thought about you a few times. I was hoping it was for a exciting reason… And it was!! My heart just did some flips for you when I saw the pic!! I am so happy for you and look forward to the amazing story of how God works.
Oh WOW! Amazing news and something that certainly brightens up my day, from the get go! Congratulations on the arrival of your little boy; he is beautiful. Please start at the beginning… but only when/if you have time! In the meantime, hugs and best wishes to all of you as you embark on this truly awesome road.
OMG! Congratulations a million times over!
I have been thinking of you and I am so glad that your absence has been for such a wonderful reason. He is a handsome little guy!
Can’t wait to hear the whole story!
I knew you have been quiet for a while for a reason and I was hoping it was good news. It isn’t good – it is AMAZING!!! I am so unbelievably happy for you! I can’t wait to hear more. Enjoy every minute of your beautiful, sweet boy. You are one beautiful mama!
Ahhhh~ FINALLY!!! =)
I was hoping if I pestered you enough that you’d come back soon. Ha!
I can’t wait to hear the story… so glad you’re back!
I was beyond thrilled for you as I read this post – Congrats on your beautiful son! I can’t wait to hear more details about his homecoming.
This is the best news of my day! What am I talking about, this is the best news of the WEEK! I’m so happy for you and cannot wait to hear the details! Congratulations!
Goose bumps! So happy for you! He is precious! God is so amazing!
I was just thinking about you yesterday when this popped up in my feedreader. I am so incredibly thrilled for you! Congratulations! He is beautiful.
I am so excited to hear your news and can’t wait to hear your story. What a special suprise. So glad that Rocky is with you, he is so very precious
I am beyond THRILLED!!!! Isn’t God great!!! I’m not sure if you remember me, but you sent me one of your “injection pens” long, long ago!!! I’ve been checking on you and was worried… I’m so happy Rocky is with his Mommy and can’t wait to read any details you want to share about your story- as you may recall, we have been blessed with 7 adopted children and think all adoptions are God’s blessings so please share what you feel comfortable with sharing.. hoping to see how God’s hands have continued to work for your family!!!
Hugs for you, hubby and Rocky!!!
Wow, I haven’t been reading blogs much lately but something told me to check my reader tonight. Well, this morning…baby has insomnia or something so I’m still up at almost 3am. You know what I mean, Mommy!
Anyway…I had to check on you and BOY AM I GLAD I DID. Congratulations times infinity!
No matter how it comes to you…motherhood is a miracle!
So happy for you. I cant wait to learn more about Mr. Rocky!!!
XOXOXO
