This blog has been created to journal my adoption. As many of you know, this journey has been a roller coaster ride. One beloved friend said this phrase came to mind during one of the many dips..."the road to H*** is paved with good intentions". The journey has certainely been H***, but the outcome will be wonderful.
A note to all of you:
- Shari
- All of you have been wonderful during this time. Your thoughts, prayers, and shoulders have been a blessing to this endeavour. I am unable to express my gratitude to all of you, you know who you are. Please enjoy this blog and the continuation of the journey. Shari
