Blog Hop About Us

We're the Maxwells. My husband, Dale, and I were married Sept08 but grew up in the same small town so we've known each other our whole lives. We have two beautiful daughters Sophia, who is 3, and Ava, who's 2. We began our adoption journey in 2009 when I started to seriously consider that this was the right choice for our family, and in October we applied to CAFAC and got on the waiting list for a Ethiopian Adoption. About 2 months later my doctors discovered ( after about a year of tests ) a tumor on my right ovary. Benign thankfully. I actually have my FIRST appointment with the specialist TOMORROW. So all you women out there that think that something just doesn't seem right, I urge you to visit your family doctor. Anyway, I love reading/stalking all your wonderful blogs. We live in a town of about 1000, and we'll be the first family EVER to adopt internationally. We haven't told our families yet, we want to wait until there is something to tell. Its hard for us to sit on the waiting list, people who care want to know how the process is going and we have absolutely nothing to tell them. So for now its our special secret but its nice to share our story with other families that are going through the same process as well as to hear your stories and to share in your joys. Thinking about all my blog friends today as they are all going through a different part of their adoptions. All our love!
