Congrats to the COX family... they are in country and have met Mia..
The Cox family, Kecia and Kris, are traveling to bring adopt their daughter, Kareen/Mia. She is 4 years old and is the same orphanage as Elijah. It is nice to see that the kids are taken care of. Mia has a beautiful smile. I hope they dont mind I am sharing one picture of their beautiful daughter.

My journey through motherhood comes full circle and begins again...
We are three weeks away from Laurens graduation, she will walk across the stage at the civic center and then reality starts.. no longer protected by school.
The very next day if graduation is not enough she starts her life outside of my home she will always be my daughter but she will be Daniels wife.
24 hours apart she closes a door and opens one. The door to the past which has been part of her life for the last 13 year. The door to her future opens as she walks down the aisle to begin life as a wife.
I have been a mother for 18 years. It has been the most rewarding, yet hardest part of my life. I have been a referee, taxi driver, short order cook, teacher, nurse, judge and friend. Lauren was the first to call me "mama". I remember wanting to here that word come out of her mouth.
After Lauren, Shanna followed 3 years later. It took 11 more years before Alina came home, her adoption took 16 months from our first commitment until we walked off the airplane at Tampa International.
A marriage to by best friend blessed me with my first son, Ethan is quiet, shy but has a wonderful smile. He is just a year behind Lauren and then he starts his life as an adult.
We commited to Elijah is January, he will be 5 in July. We will almost be starting over again. We are well into the thick of adoption paperwork hoping to travel this summer. I will get to walk my youngest son into school for the first time in the fall then follow his journey as I have the girls before him.
Motherhood is a journey I have been blessed to be part..
All because of MY LORD it has been possible.
