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,

Congratulations! I feel like you are an "old friend" of mine and that I have known you for a long time. You helped us all through the Hague mess and always offered words of encouragement. I am so happy you are our new hostess!! And remember...I am still interested in arranging the marriage of Kiran and Annie ...ha! ha! (think about those absolutely gorgeous grandbabies!!!!!)

Diane
