DYLAN AND DOMINIC SHOWING OUR DOG CHELSEA SOME LOVE. FUNNY THINGS THAT A FOUR YEAR OLD SAYS. TODAY MY FOUR YEAR OLD DYLAN SAID- MOMMY, I NEED TO CHANGE MY UNDERWEAR AND I SAID WHY DID YOU HAVE AN ACCIDENT AND HE SAID NO I HAVE GAS. SO I SAID, SO WHY DO YOU NEED TO CHANGE YOUR UNDERWEAR AND HE SAID, I GOT GAS ALL OVER THEM AND I NEED TO CHANGE THEM. I LAUGHED FOR ABOUT TEN MINUTES AFTER THAT. HE DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHY I FOUND THAT SO FUNNY. BOTH OF MY CHILDREN ARE EXTEMELY FUNNY AND THEY MAKE US LAUGH DAILY.

OUR JOURNEY TO DYLAN

2008-03-13T21:22:00.000-07:00

WE STARTED OUR ADOPTION JOURNEY IN MARCH OF 2002 AFTER TWO FAILED ARTIFICIAL INSEMENATIONS AND TWO FAILED IVF'S. I REMEMBER, DAY AFTER DAY I WOULD SIT AN WATCH A BABY STORY AND CRY FOR HOURS AFTER WATCHING IT, BUT I WOULD STILL WATCH AND WONDER WHY GOD WAS PUNISHING US. I WOULD CRY TO MY HUSBAND AND SAY, I THINK WE ARE GOOD PEOPLE BUT I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS IS HAPPENING TO US. LITTLE DID I KNOW THAT WE WOULD BE BLESSED BY TWO BEAUTIFUL BOY'S. GOD WAS NOT PUNISHING US HE HAD CHOSEN US FOR THESE BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN. IT TOOK ALOT OF YEARS FOR ME TO UNDERSTAND THAT. WHEN DYLAN CAME INTO OUR LIVES IN 2003, I FINALLY UNDERSTOOD, THAT GOD WAS NOT PUNISHING ,BUT BLESSING US. I WILL NEVER FORGET THE DAY THAT I RECIEVED THE PHONE CALL FROM MY AGENT. I WAS IN THE CAR ON MY WAY TO WORK AND MY CELL PHONE RANG. I HEARD THIS VOICE SAY-ARE YOU READY TO BE A MOMMY. I STARTED TO SHAKE AND CRY, I COULD NOT BELIEVE WHAT I JUST HAD HEARD. MY AGENT CONTINUED TO GIVE ME THE INFO AND I CRIED THE WHOLE TIME. I CALLED MY HUSBAND AND TOLD HIM THAT DYLAN HAD BEEN BORN. HE COULD BARELY UNDERSTAND ME BECAUSE OF MY CRYING AND HE TO STARTED TO CRY. THAT DAY WAS WHEN I REALLY STARTED TO LIVE. WE HAVE HAD A LONG JOURNEY WITH HIS ADOPTION, IT TOOK A YEAR FROM START TO FINISH BUT WE WERE BLESSED WITH HIM COMING HOME AT JUST 4 MONTHS OLD. OUR AGENT DID NOT GIVE US ALOT OF INFO AND WE DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO ASK BECAUSE THIS WAS ALL NEW EXPERIENCE TO US.WHEN WE STARTED HIS ADOPTION IT TOOK FOREVER FOR US TO RECIEVE A REFERRAL, I ALSO THANK GOD FOR THAT BECAUSE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ADOPTION, THEY CLOSED THING'S DOWN FOR 3 MONTHS AND OUR AGENT ASKED US TO PICK ANOTHER COUNTRY. EVEN THOUGH WE DID NOT HAVE A REFERRAL YET, SOMETHING TOLD ME TO HOLD ON. THAT SOMETHING WAS GOD, SO WE HELD ON TIGHT TO THE ROUGH ROLLER COASTER RIDE AND THEN WE RECIEVED OUR REFERRAL AND 4 SHORT MONTHS LATER DYLAN WAS OURS TO KEEP. MORE TO COME ON HOW WE BECAME A FAMILY OF 4.

SWEET BROTHERLY LOVE
