Welcome to the blog. I talk a lot about these cuties on here.

Welcome to the blog. I talk a lot about these cuties on here.

ADOPTING A CHILD WON'T CHANGE THE WORLD, BUT FOR THAT CHILD, THEIR WORLD WILL CHANGE!

About Me

Donna: I am a crazy, loud mouth, hold nothing back, fun with my kiddos kind of gal. This blog shows only a glimpse into my life. I use it for a keepsake to my kids of what life was like as they grew up. So yes, it is my blog and I will do with it what I want ;)

"...once our eyes are opened, we can't pretend we don't know what to do. God, who weighs our hearts and keeps our souls, knows that we know, and holds us responsible to act."
Proverbs 24:12

"A hundred years from now it will not matter what my bank account was, the sort of house I lived in, or the kind of car I drove. But the world may be different because, I was important in the life of a child."
