An Exciting Decision

We're very excited to announce that we've decided to adopt a child. As many of our friends and family know, the journey to build our family hasn't been as easy we had hoped. Our yearning to start our family has led us to examine some alternative options and after careful consideration we have realized that adoption is a great fit for us.

With family and friends sprinkled around the world, we feel like this blog will be the perfect way to share our story. As our process unfolds we will both be posting our thoughts, feelings and new knowledge here for all to see. We hope you enjoy reading this as much as we enjoy sharing it.

Welcome to our blog, and thanks for reading.
Love,
Amy and Brian

  6. OH MY GOD!!! I almost peed my pants when I read this. (If I had, I would have asked you to come over and help me clean up, so you could get practice.) This is SUCH amazing news. I am so so soooo happy and excited for you and I cannot wait to meet your new family member, and see you all together. Fantastic, fantastic, fantastic!! (No wonder you were talking about redecorating your extra room, you sneaky kids.)
    I am always available to babysit a Fauska, FYI (dogs, cats, babies, et al). I am absolutely overflowing with happiness for you. You two will honestly make the most wonderful parents. Congratulations from the very bottom of my heart. xoxoxxooooooo!
