Starting to wonder if Laila's diagnosis of ADHD is really that or just a lack of attention from so many years in the system.

I have a couple of confessions to make. #1. I am moving my blog from blogher to blogspot. I love the blogher community but I am drawn to blogspot for the amount of control you have over the appearance of your blog. I hope you will follow me there at http://averyblessedmommy.blogspot.com/ #2. The names I've been using on this blog are NOT our real names. I decided on assumed names to protect the identity of my children.  Read more >

Laila finally moved in Thursday for good. What a joyous day for us. She said she was so happy to be back. Her social worker brought her to us around 1:30 that afternoon. She had all of her worldly possessions in a Hello Kitty backpack. It's so crazy to think that everything she has fits into a backpack. I will buy her everything she needs and lots of things she doesn't. I will make sure she has clothes, toys, vacations. I can't give her those first 6 years back though. She has been in 5 homes before ours. She has faced alot of neglect and rejection. She hasn't been cuddled enough.  Read more >

Tough Week

This week has started off pretty awful. First we get a call from DHR on Monday morning. I am expecting it to be Laila's social worker telling us to come pick Laila up and bring her to live with us permanently. Instead she is calling to tell me that because there is a bit more red tape we are NOT moving today and hopefully we can move her by the end of the week. I can't describe how disappointed I was. I was so excited about moving her in on Monday and now she is stuck in her current placement until who knows when.  Read more >

Our Last Weekend Without Laila

We finally got the call today we've been waiting on. Laila's social worker called this morning to tell us exactly when "the move" would take place. After talking with Laila, she has decided to move her on Monday. Laila asked to take the weekend to say goodbye to her family and the people at her church. It breaks my heart to think about how hard this has to be for her. I'm sure it's confusing too. The social worker did say one thing that made my day.  Read more >

About Me: 

I am a very blessed mommy of 3 wonderful children. I have a biological son who is the smartest, most handsome, sweetest little boy I've ever met. I have a daughter that was adopted from the foster care system who is dainty, princessy and totally sassy.  I am in the process of adopting another daughter from foster care. She is funny, athletic, and full of personality. She is also African American so her adoption will be considered a transracial adoption.  I feel so blessed to have a family formed through birth and adoption. Being a mother is the joy of my life. I've been married to my sweetheart for 13 years. He is a wonderful husband and father. Even my mother tells me I couldn't have found a better man. I am a follower of Jesus Christ. He is my everything.
