on our way

we are on our way to our seventh child. when i read that it sounds a little crazy. i can't say i ever imagined myself with seven children to be honest with you. five, yes, that was always my plan, but seven? i never planned on that. oh how life can take us down different paths we never knew existed! so here we are... ready for seven.

right now there is a sweet little boy, 6 years old, who is waiting for a family. he's HIV+ and he needs a family. he needs to know he's special. he needs to get proper medication. he needs to be read stories and have his parents tuck him in at night. he needs to go adventuring with siblings who love to hike and play on the beach. he needs to know he has a special place in someone's heart. he doesn't know any of that yet, but one day he will.

this sweet boy has an alias, it's "wilson". we'll call him that on our blog to protect his identity. i'm not the most eloquent, nor graceful of writers, but i shall do my best to write about our journey to our sweet boy. it is my hope that our friends and family come with us for the journey, and that we gain some friends as well.
