We have been placed with our second child. Instead of a private adoption we went through foster care. It has been a hard process but very worth it. Jamir is a ridculously cute biracial two-year-old boy. He has been in foster care for 15 months.
Our first visit to meet with Jaymir was today. Wouldn't you know it! our camera malfunctioned and we could only take one good shot of Jaymir (aka Jay Jay). Isn't he a cutie? The first visit went very well. Kevin played trains with Jay Jay on the floor and I got a lot of care and feeding tips from his foster mother. On Thursday, we will bring Quincy to meet his baby brother. I am expecting fireworks but I think they will eventually get along well. Hopefully we will be able to bring Jay Jay home by the end of July.
The typical whining over parenting, adoption, fostercare, returning to school, social injustice, and other flights of fancy

To promote adoption from foster care, Lansdowne's Epiphany House is hosting a showing of the Heart Gallery of Philadelphia on April 24th at the Plymonth Meeting Mall. The Heart Gallery offers portraits of waiting children looking for forever families.
