Greetings!
We designed this site in order to keep in touch with friends and family who are far away and in order to communicate with other adoptive families from around the world.
When we first started researching this wonderful way to become a family we read everything we could get our hands on. Even though there are a lot of great books out there, nothing was as informative or touching as the blogs we found by adoptees, biological parents, and adoptive families. So we are writing this blog now in hopes of returning the favor. We hope that if you are dear to us you will enjoy keeping up with our adventures. If you are someone out there involved in a part of the adoption triad we hope you will find information and comfort here and provide us with some of your own!
If you would like to get in touch with us we can be reached at: becomingafamily@gmail.com
Feel free to stop by anytime. We're happy to share our family story.
Take care,
Brian and Rosemary
It has been a very busy month but we are finally back! We're happy to "see" everyone in blog-land and get all the latest news from our favorite adoptive families around the world. As far as our news goes: We were very blessed to receive Button's 12 month update from Holt. Of course, he is 15 months old now but we are thrilled to get the info even if it is 3 months outdated. Marissa, our adoption advocate, was such a doll and sent it to us the day before Thanksgiving so we were able to share new pictures of our son with our families for the holiday. That meant so much to us and we were very grateful for her thoughtfulness.
Now I know you are wondering if we are going to share those pictures with you. Well after much deliberation, we finally decided that there was just no way we would be able to keep our adorable kiddo's face off this blog for perpetuity so we decided to go for it. Here are the best of the rather grainy, completely blurry, yet totally amazing pictures of Button!
He is obviously walking like a champ at 12 months!
This is the first genuine smile we've seen in all his pictures and we notice that it looks like he has been bribed with a nice piece of candy. ;-)

Thanks for sharing his picture with us.

Absolutely as cute as a button!
He is just gorgeous - the most handsome son ever! I love the way he is wearing an outfit with a large button as well! So perfect! I can't wait for the news that you are off to collect him and bring him home.
He is just beautiful. I love the little hat. So glad you shared. Counting down the days until you go and get him!

Having pictures is bittersweet. You are happy to receive them, you jump up and down and then you just want to go there and get him immediately. I hope you get to travel soon dear girl.
Rosemary, he is perfectly adorable! Oh! I can't even imagine how hard it is for you to wait with every precious picture you receive. Hang in there, the time is soon and you will have him toddling around you in person!
Okay...he is really, really, really cute! Love the candy bribe too. Glad that worked out for him :)
I'm starting to see a little personality! Such a sweetie. If I have to travel cross country to see him with you guys I will.

SO happy for you!!
Obviously well named, as he is as cute as one! And what a blessings those updates are.
Gotta love those update photos from Holt, don't you? He's precious!
Congratulations, he is absolutley adorable. It appears that our little boys are very close in age and we appear to be "stuck" in the same situation. We are awaiting our Article 16 letter, and have been since October. We would be interested in connecting with any other families that may be traveling at the same time we are. I will invite you to our blog, if you send me an email: yutzie@comcast.net

Have to comment on your other post at the same time... my boys and I are loving watching the trailer for the Babies movie!!! Oh my goodness, so adorable!!! Those Namibian babies are killing me they're so stinkin cute! Can't wait to see the movie. : )
I am in love with your son. Is that okay to say? I think I'm breaking some rule of correct attachment principles but say it I must - I love him.
He's so cute! Somehow I know he and Gracie will be partners in crime. All he would have to do is flash that adorable little smile at me and I would give him anything he wants!! Thanks for sharing!
OMG!!! Can't believe I never saw these pics!!! He is sooo precious! Love that sweet smile! Oh,Roses, I can't wait to see him in your arms! WHAR a cutie pie! I am up burning the midnight oil here cause Ruby was tossing and turning. So glad I had time to get on here and catch up with blogs. Love, love, love seeing your sweet boy!!!
