I am wife to the Rockstar and mother to my 11 treasures. I am passionate about adoption and raising a big family. I love photography. I don't claim to have it all together. Our life may be chaotic. Our house may be full. Our grocery bill may be outrageous. The laundry may be endless. But, we wouldn't change one thing. We are storing up our treasures in heaven.

In my attempt to find information for our adoption process from Uganda, I became quickly aware that there just isn't much out there. I wanted to create a way for all of us taking this journey together to be able to walk along-side each other. A place we can find other people taking this journey with us. A place to encourage each other during the journey. A place to keep up with the family after the adoption is finalized, because, let's face it, the adoption is only the beginning of this journey!
