In October of 2014, I joined other bloggers at the write31days.com challenge. For the 31 days I shared our adoption adventure.
Parts of our story are hard. I don't want anyone to be discouraged about looking into adoption because of this. Adoption is a wonderful way to build a family. It is such a blessings and each of the parts of this story was worth going through in the end.
If you have questions about adoption, please email me at robyncarrillo10@gmail.com and I will try to answer them. Enjoy!

Although I don't know yet if it's God's will, I have a desire to adopt a boy a year or two older than my youngest. I'm looking forward to reading about your adoption adventure.
ReplyDeleteKeep praying Tami. The Lord will let you know. I just post two more days. Our adoption was not always easy, so please don't let my story discourage you. It has been so worth it! And the Lord was with us the whole way.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing your amazing story! We have adopted 2 amazing, special boys from foster care, and were foster parents to 35 other kids during our 6 years as foster parents. We saw some kids go to awesome adoptive homes. We also fostered 4 sets of twins. :) My heart goes with you in your sharing. Please come and check out my blog when you have a few moments. www.saraborgstede.com
