1 year ago today...

...I found out what a blog was and started one (thanks Jenn)!

This is also the day that I joined the most AMAZING group of online adoptive parents.

I have had the privilege of meeting MANY families and families in waiting. Just take a look at my side bar to see that people that I have met - and those are ONLY the one that have a blog - there are many that do not have a blog.

There are friends that I have met through this blog that will/have become lifelong friends and I am grateful everyday that they are in my life.

There are SO MANY ups and downs on this journey - Mark and I are SO lucky to have such amazing people here to support us - both online and off line - cyber friends and friends and family in real life.

Thank you for the wonderful support - it is INCREDIBLY appreciated by both Mark and I and one day we will bring home our daughter and it will all be worth it!

Great post!

I love the “blogger bond”; it is almost sisterly in a way. I feel for the families that have not discovered blogging and are going through this long wait on their own. I guess we all choose ways of coping and I choose BLOGGIN’!

Smiles! :o)

I can't remember when I started my blog but I think it was around that time too!
It has certainly been a great year for meeting new people.
