So what will our family look like anyway?

One thing we are pretty sure of is that we will be adopting a “big kid”. While we would welcome an infant into our home should that situation present itself, we are preparing for a child between the age of 5-10 years. Everything else (gender/race/# (1 or2?)) is up in the air.

We will be so excited to have a child who is old enough to have ideas, interests and opinions all their own. We also look forward to taking a child along with us to some of the activities that we enjoy such as football games and anything involving the great outdoors:) Even as I’m typing this I can hear the neighborhood children outside playing basketball and it is so easy for me to imagine sitting outside watching our child play along with them.

One of our greatest hopes is that our extended family, friends, and community will love and support this child as we will and that our new family will be seen as no different than any other.
