Post Introducing Forum Hostess

My name is Steph and I am honored to have the opportunity to assist forum members as a hostess.

My family includes a wonderful DH, a bio daughter who is nearly an adult, and an adopted son who was born in 2003, in Guatemala and adopted as a newborn. Yep that's right. I was nearly done with my "duties" when we decided to start all over. It is a decision with joyous results that we have never regretted.

Please consider me your friend and peer, first and foremost, as I too am an adoptive parent and long time member.

I am here to offer information when possible, encouragement, advice and guidance, experience and most definitely a willing shoulder to support forum members. Please let me know if I can assist you in anyway.

Hi Steph, Welcome, and thanks for being a hostess. You'll have a blast getting to know everyone and their stories.

Very cool of you and your DH to start again. It's fun isn't it?
