Most of you know that I adopted my son as an infant. This past week I found out he has a two year old sister, and we have been asked to bring her into our home, with the intention of adopting her. We said yes, and were informed today that the placement should take place by the middle of next week. They prefer the process to move quickly as it is in the best interest of the child.
I have not yet told Cooper, as I don't think he will understand exactly what it means and it would just confuse him, and I don't plan to tell him until after we meet her this weekend. But I know that he will love having a sister.
So, with that said, I will be taking a hiatus from blogging, while we all settle into our new roles as brother, sister, and mother of TWO little ones. If you are so inclined, I would love your prayers during this time of adjustment.
I promise I will be back, I just don't know how soon. I will, however, be continuing with blog design so if you're interested in blog makeover, please visit me at Simply Klassic Designs and read about the specials I have going on right now.

ReplyDeleteHugs, Vicky
I am praying for your family. This will be a big challenge, but I'm sure it will be an even bigger blessing!
ReplyDeleteKristin...How exciting! What a joy, a little girl to go with your beautiful boy! I pray for you, Cooper and the rest of your family! This brings to mind the verse in Jeremiah, chapter 29 vs. 11....the plans I have for you!Thanks for all you have helped me with...look forward to when you get back!
ReplyDeleteWonderful news. I have a friend who had a similar situation this past summer.
ReplyDeleteHoping the transition goes smoothly and quickly for everyone.
Wow! What a blessing! I will be praying for your family...for a smooth transition.

ReplyDeleteKristin!!! I am speechless! I am so excited and overwhelmed for you all at the same time! And I wish wish wish I lived closer so that I could help with anything you needed. You will absolutely be in my prayers! That little girl is lucky to have you for her mommy. I can't wait to 'meet' her. Sending a huge hug your way!
ReplyDeleteWow. What a big change. Congratulations. And what a different experience this will be bringing a two year old into your home versus having brought Cooper home as an infant. She's a lucky girl.
