Our Paper pregnancy
Chad and I decided on March 20th to add to our family. We've been talking since last year about this new addition. It's been 5 years since our last,foster/adopt child. Our children now,that we adopted through the foster care,are 11 and 5. Blake is 11 and getting ready to attend 6th grade in Sept. We've made a lot of progress with him. We are in the processes of getting him a RX for whatever it is,he may have. He's pretty excited about us wanting another child and loves the idea,of being a big brother. I'm sure there will be some hesitation,if it is another little sister he ends up with. Madeline is now 5 and getting ready to attend Kindergarten in Sept. She also is excited about adding another child to the family. She however wants a bigger sister,she says. We might be able to pull off the sister,if it's a little sister. Both these children have a lot of potential and strength. I believe Chad and I could do a whole great of wonders,for another child in need. I haven't brought it to any of my families attention,as of yet. I'm sure I'll get the negative feed back from a lot of them. To most of them I'm a fragile delicate child with a heart condition. They tend to forget or see the strengths I have in me. I think I have a lot more strengths in me,then most of them,that have no health conditions. I just hope at the end of our paper pregnancy journey,our family is as pleased with the out come,as we will be.

I've always known you to be a very strong woman. You and Chad could take in 10 more kids, and never run out of love for any of them. I wish you the best of luck. - Chrissy Hearn
I'm so thrilled with this plan and haven't been able to say it to you on MW because I do a lot more reading than posting. I know that you can help another child, and it's such a wonderful thing for you to do! If your family gives you negative feedback, remind them of all you have done for Blake and Madeline!
Brooke, I am so excited for you guys to be starting this process again. Any child would be so fortunate to be placed in your home. I hope things go quickly and smoothly for you.
Brooke, you are a wonderful woman for all that you do for your family. They are lucky to have you. - Jennifer Hutchens
