Today is my 1 year anniversary on the forum

I just wanted to make note of this special day. One year ago today I registered here on the forum. I can't believe how much my life has changed since that day I was tooling around the web looking for info on adoption from Russia, at the time we were waiting to be matched through a private agency for a newborn, domestic adoption!and had been waiting for almost 2 years. I came to this site to learn more about international adoption, maybe we should consider changing to adopt from Russia. Maybe God had other plans for us....

Well, as many of you know - here I am with my one year old twins that I were placed with us 6 months ago from our states Foster Care System. We hope to finalize December or January.......

Oh what a difference a year makes!!!!

NONE OF IT WOULD HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE WITHOUT ALL THE INFO, SUPPORT AND GUIDANCE THAT I HAVE RECEIVED ON THIS FORUM.

How can I ever say THANK YOU enough.

Dreams DO come true!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU ALL!!

Too funny Bumpkin. My anniversary was the 15th of this month and I too thought about doing an anniversary thread. Funny how we remember this. I was looking at how many posts I've done in the year. I am suprised I have been hooked here as long as I have.

Congrats to you!
