Introducing my daughters

I take great pleasure in introducing my 10 month old twin girls. To protect their privacy I will be referring to them as Kay and Cee on this blog. The girls became part of our family this week. It has been a long road to them with many a heartbreak in between but the end result is precious and they are filling our lives with sunshine already.

I am operating on a precious few minutes when the girls are asleep so can’t express all that I feel. 🙂 Much of the story in later posts. Here is the link to a FAQ to most commonly asked adoption questions. Feel free to email questions and I will add them to the FAQ. Stay tuned!
