Adoption Info Meeting

Want to know more about the adoption process, reputable adoption agencies, how to finance an adoption and more? Come to an adoption info meeting this Sunday at Cornerstone Church (The Box) at 11:00am. Jason and I will be sharing as much information as we can. Also, several families who have adopted or are in the process will be there to talk to.

I think there are many people out there who have interest in adoption, but the thought of acting on that interest is incredibly scary, even paralyzing. I've been there!There is so much to think about: Domestic or interanational? What agency? What age(s)? What race? What country? What health issues? How much will this cost? The list goes on and on.

The purpose of this meeting is to just come and get more information. I hope you will join us and/or pass the word onto others.

One Step Closer

We finally received the approvals we have been waiting for. The finish line is in sight!

We Took Him Out to the Ball Game

Last night was ALS night at the Iowa Cubs game. Abram could hardly wait to go all day. His ball, bat and glove have become a regular part of his life lately - he loves to play baseball.

Here he is waiting on the field with Jason to throw one of the first pitches (they have several people throw first pitches these days, which I think is a little weird!)
He was ready to go with his ball and glove.
Jason got to throw a pitch since it was ALS night. Abram decided to throw his ball after seeing Jason throw it.

One of Jason's board members donated sky box tickets for the staff and their families. Now that is the way to watch a baseball game with a toddler on a super hot and steamy summer night (hello air conditioning)!

Gotta eat a hot dog while watching the game.

Cubbie even made a visit to our sky box.

Abram didn't fall asleep on the way home. I think he was too excited - he had a blast!
