On August 1, 1999 Darian came into our world and we knew we had made the right decision to forgo our DINK status (Dual-Income, No Kids) and join the parenthood club. Exactly 13 months later to the day, Trevor became a part of our family and confirmed that our decision was right.
Two beautiful boys, no worries in the world... what else could we want? Well, we wanted two girls. Both of us were aging, however, and we were acutely aware of the many children in this world who needed a warm, loving family. So, we decided to go the adoption route.
We started the whole process about 4 years ago and finally got Alexis from Ukraine in the summer of 2007. And now, we're just a few days away from bringing home Katrina and starting a new chapter in all our lives.
Darian will turn 9 and a half this Sunday (super bowl Sunday). Trevor will be 8 and a half on March 1. Little Alexis will have her third birthday in between the two.
Darian, Trevor, and Alexis - we cannot imagine life without you. You bring us so much joy and happiness. So, Big D (Darian), Sweet Pickles (Trevor), and Poodle-Doodle (Alexis) - get ready. Mommy and Daddy are coming home and we may never stop hugging you!!
P.S. Thanks to Uncle Mark for daily reading our blog to Al and Fern.
Hi everybody,
ReplyDeleteWe are Alon and Rina from Israel.
We adopted Mika on April 2010 when she was two years old.
By the pictures you've put in the web site, Mika was in the group of "jtm_mjm".
We'll be very happy to share with you experiences and pictures from
the baby home - the kids, care takers, the area etc.
Mika was born on February 2008, so whoever adopted after the begining
of 2008 probably saw or met our child.
We'll be very happy if you have picturs of Mika, the care takers, the
rooms and the area or any other memory that may complete the past of
our child.
We put a few pictures in the web site, so you can recognize her.
Love and light
Rina and Alon
