Meet The Kids

For the purposes of this blog the kids will be using their nicknames.  This preserves their privacy.  After all, this story doesn't just belong to me!  

Tot- Tot came to our home in '08 at 22mos old.  He was born 12/06.  He was our first placement and our first adoption.  He was adopted in 5/10 and has taught us so much.  His tender heart makes him the perfect oldest child.  He forgives all of our parenting mistakes and keeps tabs on ALL of his siblings!

PRINCESS P (P)- P was our first infant placement.  She was born 10/08.  She was 5 months when she came to us and it's been an adventure!  Her adoption was 10/11 and a major miracle.  I'll tell her story later!!!!  

BEB- BEB was our first newborn experience.  He was born 2/11.  I brought him home from the hospital at 5 days old after visiting him in the hospital for 3 days.  He was adopted 12/12.

TEENY- Teeny was also a newborn experience.  She was born 3/12.  We adopted her 12/13 (yes, that's 4 adoptions in 4 years). She had been born a month premature and needed more medical intervention, so I visited her in the hospital for a week before bringing her home.  She wasn't quite 6# when I brought her home... Hence the nickname Teeny.

RENNY (REN)- Ren is our most recent addition and a surprise!  She is baby sister to one of our other kiddos, our first set of siblings!  She was born 7/13, her story is still new but it's always possible that she will permanent.  That will make 5 kids in 5 years!  All sorts of crazy and all sorts of fun! 

Each of these kids have unique stories and places in our hearts and home.  We love them completely and have since our first meetings.  My heart will never be the same for loving these sweet souls... I AM FOREVER WRECKED IN A PROFOUND WAY!
