Promise Land

Overwhelmed. Feeling all the things as we are two days away from forever. I always read where moms felt the lose involved with adoption, I thought that was strange. But, I have this week felt it. I have been reminded of what G went through to get here- of the brokenness. I have been reminded […]
Our lawyer, Jim.

We have had a lawyer now for 2.5 years. To be completely up front and clear. Jim didn’t win our case. God did. Jim stated every time we walked out of the court room he has known from the beginning a “much greater power is on our side.” But, to have a voice in court […]
Foster Care in Louisiana.

Last minute Dollywood trip. 🤍💗 Joz and I wore our FFF matching shirts. Before we left for the night a man stopped me and inquired about our shirts. He asked if it had to do with actually fostering. I told him, yes! That it was my online women’s fitness business. I started to help pay […]
4 weeks till our adoption.

We waited 3 years to adopt. And, we are down to 4 weeks. I know that’s fairly common in foster care situations. But, I am an optimist to a fault. So I remember when someone tried to warn me the process could take up to “2-3 years and there’s a very good chance he won’t […]
Lead me to the Rock that is higher than I.

Trauma and Potty training.

Bubs has been in potty training mode. He’s trying so hard and loves for us to tell him he’s doing a good job. He has got the strongest will I’ve ever seen. He’s literally had to survive and that is inside of him. He will literally have a drive to be able to do Anything […]
We have a date!!

G will officially be a Kelley, August 2nd, 2021!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ “When the time is right, I the Lord will make it happen.” Isaiah 60:22
The last wait…

This last wait. I can’t explain it. But, this last wait is different. It’s getting tough, but God filled. It’s like we are at the Red Sea. God is letting us see his glory. Like we’ve walked for years to get to the water. Here we stand. This time we just wait for God to […]
Make G a Kelley

Saw this picture of G from 2 years ago. So powerful with his, “Make G a Kelley” shirt. This same day lots of other people wore the same shirt. I remember thinking about that in the court room. How so many people cared that couldn’t actually be in there. But, I remember the walk to […]
Dumbo.

FB reminded me that today was 2 years since I took Joz to see Dumbo. {keep reading} Two years ago today G had to go on an all day visit with a family that wanted to also have G live with them forever. Our case worker picked him up early that morning and we literally […]
