"We are sure you all have heard that the road to adoption is not easy and with many bumps and that is all true, but we can assure you that once you get to the end of it is definitely worth it. When we decided to become foster parents we never imagined that we were going to learn how to be a parent and the many relationships that we were going to create in the process.
The process becomes a team effort and all [of a] sudden you have a chosen family working together to achieve a common goal, which makes it so much easier. You learn how to take care of another human being and you have the opportunity to make a difference in someone's life but the training does not teach you how to love them; that magic happens as soon as you hold them in your arms. When we first held Christopher and Jonathan it was definitely love at first sight. They were so beautiful and their eyes sparkled like stars on a dark night. They came into our lives to make them whole and full of purpose. We were their foster parents for a year and a half before having the opportunity to adopt them on August 15, 2017. For our family, the whole process has been life changing and we have seen the blessings since day one."
