did you know that TODAY is #worldadoptionday ??  Such a sweet day for people around the globe to celebrate and raise awareness for adoption.  I even saw the Today show talking about World Adoption Day this morning!  I love that the mission of today is to  “create a day to celebrate the power and beauty of family brought together through adoption.”  Adoption is obviously a huge part of our families story.  It’s what God used to build our family and we are forever grateful.  Camp + Asher have been home FOUR YEARS now, and the celebration has still not ended.

I’ve blogged and shared here for years about adoption, and have all my adoption related posts and resources in one place::ADOPTION (click link) 

I also wanted to share with you a podcast I was on that aired today.  I shared a lot about our journey through infertility + adoption and I so hope and pray it’s encouraging to anyone who listens.  My two goals for everything I say or write to women are that it encourages & challenges.  Our story is a God one, He alone wrote it and is writing it.  It’s not at all what we could have ever expected, but it’s better than my wildest dream.  God is good, and He’s working his good plan.  Enjoy my podcast on extraordinary moms here.

and just for fun 🙂  we’ve documented each October (minus 1) since we became a forever family!!!
