Abigail's 8th Adoption Day Today!

Happy 8th Adoption Day Abigail Marie Wright! Oh what a beautiful young lady you are....we praise God for you daily!!!

I mean look at that smile- does it get any more beautiful. Let me tell you this young lady is compassionate, responsible, loving, caring, smart, beautiful, helpful, and a JOY to have as our daughter. Abigail means source of joy and when we named her that- She PROVED it to be true.
Look all of us in the bed- get in tight or we might fall out!!!
Awwww.......sisters.
At Shenandoah National Park - hiking of course :)
When there was only 5......
On a plane to Iowa.....
What only 3- Look at their adorable faces....
The day we got to come home with Andrew- Does Abigail look excited or what?
She has the cutest little baby face :)


On February 3, 2001 we got a phone call to ask us if we would be interested in fostering a 14 month old baby girl. The termination hearing was supposed to be in March (he he he- well you know foster care it wasn't in March). There was a possible last minute biological dad- after 6 weeks of getting the test done- it finally happened, and we finally found out- he wasn't. Then after a grueling interview that made us almost lose our minds. Racial slurs from some social workers. A brother born and not placed with us until 7 weeks later. Transition time from her former foster home to ours. 45 minute trip there and back 2 times a week for Biological Mom visits up until her official adoption........

June 17th 2002 We got to go to court and say- YES we WANT to be the parents of Abigail Marie Wright!!!!!! Never forget the feeling of when you first become a mommy and daddy- officially! We were over the moon.

You know we have people come to us all the time saying your children are all so beautiful. I say it's Abigail's fault. I mean who could follow that up? So they all had to be adorable!

To my sweet daughter I am so proud of you and who you have allowed God to help you become. My greatest desire for you is to follow HIM and allow HIM to guide your footsteps. I know HE has BIG PLANS for you :)
