**Just in Case You Were Wondering**
- 5KidMom
- I am the wife to a wonderful man named Will, and Mom to 5 amazing kids. Both Will and I were widowed before we met. We had 3 children between us when we married. We welcomed a new addition 1 1/2 years later. The pregnancy and birth were wild, so we decided to be "done". God had a different plan. We were introduced to international adoption, and started that process 11/04. We brought our 5th child home from Ethiopia 4/06. You could say our kids are Your's, Mine, Our's and Someone Else's. 8^) We are just grateful that they are all OUR'S! Someday, we will adopt from Ethiopia again. We know there is an "older child" that is meant to be part of our family. We trust that God will let us know when the time is right. Parenting is the hardest and most rewarding thing I have ever taken on. I am not an expert, but I'm happy to share any insights I gain along the way. I also appreciate any tips I can glean from my readers. After all, it takes a village, right?!

Blaine,
Good to have you back! I'm sorry about the TB test and the medicine (9 months!), but she looks GREAT and your shower looked like a blast, too.
We are heading towards the end of our homestudy, starting on the dossier and ready to start waiting! I think the wait has increased (more interest in Ethiopia and different tests), but maybe by next year we will have our first child!
Good luck!

I bought one of these for Sophie - I'm so excited about it. All of my kids loved their Johnny Jump Ups.
Hi Erin!! So glad to hear from you again. It sounds like you are well on your way to making your adoption a reality. You should give me a call some time soon. I would love to hear more details!!
Perri...I was so sad when I figured out that the lovely vaulted ceilings and extra high, frameless doorways in our new home meant that we wouldn't be able to use a jumper. What was I thinking?! Thank goodness someone came up with this new little gadget. They saved the day at our house!
