Anonymous said...: Thank you so much for sharing your profile with us. You forgot one thing in describing yourself - you are a really good friend too. I can't wait until the day your picture is grayed out with the words "PLACEMENT" across it!

Those were really good pictures too by the way. . .; October 25, 2007 at 9:16 PM

We were a family of three who was in the infertility/adoption cycle for almost 6 years. During that time we experienced 5 failed treatement cycles, 2 failed adoption placements and the loss of 6 adopted embryos. After officially waiting with our agency for 3 years, 8 months and 1 day we were blessed with the birth and adoption of our daughter Camryn Lee. Our adoption was a long journey, but looking back I know there is nothing I would change. God really worked on me during those years and I'm grateful for that. Every time I look at Cade and Camryn I know that God's timing was absolutely perfect!
