Guess what?! We are going to adopt again!!! We have made the decision to adopt Tasha, our 17 yr old foster daughter. Tasha brought the subject up a few months ago, but we did not think she was serious and we were not sure how it would affect the family. When we adopted Amber, we said that she would be our oldest. Well, we never imagined that we would be hit by a Tasha! She fits so well with our family and LOVES her younger siblings too.

A little while ago, she announced that we were going to adopt her and that was that. Rod and I have talked a lot about it and also have talked to the professionals that are involved in her life. We already feel as if she is ours, so why not make it legal and official. Amber and Nathan gave the thumbs up as well. Amber said that she wanted Tasha to be her sister forever, even after she moves out.

Tasha turns 18 in September, so we want to make sure that the adoption happens before that. We are hoping that it will be early summer.
