about us


We created this blog to keep friends and family updated about our adoption journey and to share our adventures with other adoptive families. Little did we know that our plans to adopt from Ethiopia would lead us to our son right here in the USA. Since Joe has joined our family, this blog is really about him, though we're not ruling out the possibility (in the distant future) of growing our family even more. Comments are warmly welcomed. -Dan and Shannon
