Hoping to Adopt

Thank you so much for taking the time to look at my blog. I hope you will find it informative and enjoyable. Let me introduce myself and my family. My name is Karri and my daughter Ami turned 5 years old in July. She was adopted from China in 2005 and is so excited to become a big sister. We have a lot of love between us and can't wait to share it with a little brother or sister. I'm not going to assume that I know what you are thinking or feeling, because no one knows that but you. People are always telling me how much they admire me for adopting my daughter, but in reality it is the birthparents that are making the amazing choice of love that I admire. No one truly knows how you feel about your decision, and no one will be able to make that decision for you. If you would like to talk more about your decision or adoption plan it would be my privilege to talk with you. You can email me at domesticadoption@sbcglobal.net or call me toll free at 877-872-0920.

Home Visits Complete


Saturday we completed our home visits with our social worker. I've also taken my CPR, infant and child first aid course. I'm just waiting to read my final report which my social worker said should be complete in about 2 weeks. Now we just wait to be matched with birthparents.

My daughter and I bought a bassinet just in case we are chosen quickly and don't have much time to prepare. This bassinet has music, a night light, it massages, and you can record a message. Ami has already recorded messages for the baby. She will say things like, "I love you baby." or "Mommy and I love you - so go to sleep." It is so much fun to watch how much faith Ami has that this baby will become part of our family.

This weekend we had my 6 week old niece in the car. She was crying and I told Ami that babies do a lot of crying. She said she knew. I asked her how she will feel when she has a baby brother or sister that cries. She said, "It will be ok because I will just sing to her." So she started singing to my niece and sure enough . . . the baby stopped crying. Ami is going to be an awesome big sister. This is a picture of Ami and our friend's baby.
