Well, it all started in 1993 at Grant High School. I was sitting in a student council (I was not a member, not sure how I was skipping class) meeting. Brian spotted me and decided we should get to know each other. I was a freshman and he was a junior. We "dated" for 15 months. What in the world were my parents thinking??? I was fourteen years old. Anyway, we were as "in love" as two teenagers could be. We never ever argued or really even disagreed about much. My junior year I decided I needed to date other people (what was I thinking). SO, we went opposite ways for TWELVE years. I had Miss Allison, went to nursing school, finally found God!!! Not that God was lost, but I sure was. Brian went to medical school and then onto residency. He was miserable and lost without me....just kidding!!! I emailed him after twelve years apart. We were both dating other people, uh oh....He came in for a Halloween party with his sister and we went to dinner and the movie "Dreamer". We fell in love all over again. We quickly married!!!! Now we have three beautiful kiddos in our home and two in China waiting for us. We are blessed beyond words and strive daily to please the Lord. We do make mistakes often, but are really trying!!!

About a year ago we started talking about adoption again. The teen harassed/begged us daily for a new baby brother. We viewed MANY videos and files of babies needing a family. One day in September Beckett's file was on a Facebook advocacy site. That was all it took for me....not much more to convince Daddy he was ours. On 7/03/16 I will hold him in my arms!!! Praying for him today. His little world is about to be torn apart. The beauty/tragedy of adoption is HUGE. It will be messy for a while until he accepts that we will love him forever.
