About Me

My photo
Lori S
I am a follower of Jesus, a wife and a stay-at-home mom. My family consists of myself, my husband of 23 years, and our 6 children....4 biological and 2 adopted from Ethiopia. I created this blog to chronicle the journey of our adoption. I continue this blog to share with family and friends the joys and hardships of having a large family, formed through birth and adoption. I relish the input and encouragement from others who care. Thanks for reading!
