We may or may not ever be able to make an announcement that "we're pregnant"...but we have come to understand that the blessing is the fact that however parenthood happens, it is a miracle! ....... Now we have been home with our precious blessing from Russia since August 2007. Join us on our fun and crazy ride that we call "life with this child of mine."

Very nice article. How did you get them to do it on you? Or did they come forward on their own?

That is funny about "the box." We have "the book." I said I was going to strap it to my middle one day so people could see that I was growing. Of course lugging that thing around for 18 months would get a little tiring. I just carry it with me everywhere in my backpack. Sort of a monkey on the back kind of thing.

This is exciting and what a neat momento for your child to be! Keep us posted on your blog whenever there is another installment!

Thanks!! No, I never would've *asked* to be featured in the newspaper...it just sorta came to be. Actually the writer is one of our good friends who approached us with an interest in following us through the process. It took us a lot of thought and prayer to decide to do it, mainly b/c I'm not a "live in the spotlight" kind of person. But ultimately, we decided that maybe, through our experiences, someone could be touched or helped. So that's what sealed it for us.

The next installment won't be for a while -- but I'll be sure to post when it's out! :)

I have a Google Alert on "russian adoption" and it flagged this article! It was so cool to see familiar faces!
