Love this thought

Posted on September 9, 2014May 8, 2020 by Cheerful Soul

Today someone asked me if our adopted son knew who Coby and I are. Like, does he know we are his parents? It’s always a question I struggle to answer. Yes, he does know who we are and we go by “mommi” and “poppi” when we are at his orphanage. But, in all honesty, I don’t… Continue reading

Shhh!

Posted on August 29, 2014May 8, 2020 by Cheerful Soul

Shhh! This is a surprise for my husband. It is the first little shirt I bought for our to-be-adopted son. You see, I am 27 months pregnant and I haven’t bought a thing. There has been this hesitation inside me. When you are adopting from Haiti, as we are, there is this long, difficult wait.… Continue reading

The Wait

Posted on June 1, 2014May 8, 2020 by Cheerful Soul

God doesn’t operate on our time clock. Today is my 2-year anniversary. We downloaded our adoption application to Three Angel’s Children’s Relief orphanage in Haiti exactly two years ago. At the time, we were told to expect our adoption to take approximately 18 months. Well, eighteen months has come and gone, with some days barely… Continue reading

So you think you can dance?

Posted on March 29, 2014May 8, 2020 by Cheerful Soul

Oh yah! That’s my boy—the one with all the dance moves! It’s official…this super white family just moved up a notch on the coolness factor. (Seriously, we are so white that even with spray tans we end up white, white and whiter). Our boy Comerson was given our last name this week. Yep, he is… Continue reading

Mama’s First Kiss

Posted on February 27, 2014May 8, 2020 by Cheerful Soul

There’s nothing quite like a Mama’s First Kiss! We started our adoption journey nearly 2 years ago. The first time we met our son face-to-face was last June. To be honest, he was scared to death of my husband, my kids and me. As much as his nanny would try to persuade him to come to… Continue reading

Putting my Brakes On

Posted on January 31, 2014May 8, 2020 by Cheerful Soul

On a Sunday in the spring of 2012, my hubby came home from church heavy hearted. I can recall the look on his face as if it were yesterday. He was holding onto something, and I knew it was something SERIOUS and BIG. He said that we needed to “talk.” Instantly my mind began to… Continue reading
