Where I am...

I started this adoption journey almost four years ago. There have been many unexpected twists and turns but now I am on the road to adopting a baby girl from Russia. Although not her real name we will call her...Hope. For it symbolizes what she is. A miracle, sometimes a dream, always longed and prayed for. With all current paperwork completed all that stands in my way is finances. I invite you to follow my journey as my faith is tested, my belief grows deeper, and soon my Hope will be placed in my arms after so long living in my heart...May you be inspired, encouraged, humored, provoked to think, and always drawn closer to God.

About Me



I am a single woman, a sister, a daughter, a friend. Deep in my heart I have always known I wanted to be a mommy. Even if life has turned out to be different than I expected, you know, the husband, the white picket fence, the van full of babies….It is still beautiful. I am an auntie to three of the most amazing children in the world. I am an ICU nurse who has been blessed with two great jobs, and I am the daughter of my best friend.
The road I am walking is perhaps one of the most complex, beautiful,  frustrating, and faith-inspiring journeys I have ever been on. God has planted a dream, a passion in the deepest part of my soul. I will be the mommy of a baby girl I have not yet met. She is out there, or will be. I hold this truth, this certainty close on those days of waiting, of wondering what to do. Follow me on this journey of faith, of discovery. Follow me as I travel down this road. Not the one I had planned for myself but the one God has for me….I am realizing that it is crooked but perfect. And that’s exactly where I want to be…
