November is National Adoption Month

We couldn't let the month go by without recognizing that it is National Adoption Month.  Adoption has been such a blessing to our family.  It was just a year ago that we first realized what a gift it is.  It was late on November 1, 2012 that we received a referral from our adoption agency telling us the story of an amazing little seven month old girl living in a China orphanage waiting for a family.  We'll never forget seeing her beautiful picture for the first time and how quickly she stole our hearts.

 

The Owatonna People's Press (our local newspaper) has been writing a series titled "A Home to Share" in their weekend edition for the month of November bringing attention to adoption.  We were honored to be asked to share our family's story in their second article.  A link to the article is below.

Thank you to our families and friends who have and continue to supported us through our adoption journey.  We look forward to the days when Ashlynn can read this blog and be reminded of how loved she is by so many.
