There is no such thing as luck....except if you play the lottery!

Shawn and I have felt blessed in our lives with great friends,family, and especially our four wonderful children. They are the light of our lives. Parenting has been a joy for us. Our hearts ache for the many childen that need loving homes. We know also that the journey to expand to a transracial family will have its challenges. However, we can't deny the fact that we've been blessed and want to share these blessings with others. The need in Africa is so great. So many friends have commented about how "lucky" our new son will be. Quite frankly, we can say that luck has played no part in this process. Luck, I feel, is something that happens when you hit a homerun, or win the lottery. This decision to adopt has been devinely inspired, we feel, and although we realize our new son will live a life with us that he might never have envisioned. We realize now that our family will be the greatest benefactor in this process, as we embark on this challenging-- and at times-- frightening journey. A journey that will enable us to help another and make our own lives more rich and full.
