[blessedbybug]

I'm Tammy and the adoptive mom of my precious miracle Bug. She just turned two and is the light of our lives (and of course, at two, the drainer of all our energy, lol!) She came to us as a newborn through a domestic adoption here in Alberta. We enjoy an open adoption with her first family.

Right now, we are waiting for another child/ren to join our family. We've been waiting 9+months with the same agency we used for Bug (AO, just like Leigh...). We are also approved for both the adoption and foster-to-adopt programs with ALberta Children's Services (ACS). Now all I can say, is "come baby... we're ready for ya"

Now I have to come clean, just based on Leigh's intro... I'm "technically" a pseudo-Canuck. I am an American (gasp now, if you like...) who has never dreamed of imagining all Canadians live in igloos. And no, I don't know the metric system very well (but I can figure out how far we have to drive by taking what is on the sign times 0.6! LOL! And sorry, I've never heard of the Trailer Park Boys. And when I say about, it comes out more like 3 syllables rather than two, lol, at least according to people here!

Before anyone thinks I might be offended, I'm not...at all. I hope no one cares that I'm here. I am so blessed to be married to a wonderful man and Momma to my precious girl (who will someday be quite "North American" when she gets her dual citizenship), both who happen to be Canadian.

So that's me... can't wait to get to know more of you who have adopted in Canada...
