As of this date, the kids have now been with us longer than they were in an orphanage. It's hard to believe that we have been home 11 months. The time has just flown by and the kids seem so old to me. I swear Brooke is almost 21 months going on 5 and Kyle is learning new words everyday! So much for that little guy in the orphanage who was functioning as a 3-4 month old. What happened to my little babies I came home with???!!! Guess they can't stay little forever. Before long I'll be posting pictures of their 2nd birthday!
Our 1 year post adoption report is going to be due soon. We are going to go to an adoption seminar for people who are interested in adoption and speak. We'll bring the kids with us so people can see we appear to be a normal family! LOL! I think Steve and I are on the same page when it comes to the "pay it forward" philosophy. We had some great people we met along the way who helped us so we'd like to do the same for others. So much for not wanting to be the poster child for adoption. i am also going to spearhead getting our district to put adoption language in our contract. No one else should be told that they "didn't have a baby so your leave will be unpaid!" Give me a break. Oh, don't get me started.
