Welcome

Welcome to our adoption blog. It is our deepest and most heartfelt wish to be parents. We would like to share our journey with you and invite you to participate in making our wish come true. Most believe that the stork brings the baby, but in our case, we believe the cranes will!

"In Japan, it is commonly said that folding 1000 paper origami cranes makes a person's wish come true." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thousand_origami_cranes

A few years ago, Tamara taught all of her fourth and fifth grade art students how to fold them and they created a sculpture of 1,000 colorful origami cranes with the intention of promoting peace and good health for the school community. Since that time, origami cranes have held a special place in her heart.
Our heartfelt wish is to have the honor to be parents of a healthy baby. We have had a long journey together and will share more of that with all of you along the way. Our journey includes many challenges and we have always had the support of many loved ones and friends. For this we are deeply grateful. It can be a lonely road to travel when you are struggling with infertility and difficulties with pregnancy, but we have been blessed to have many people to love and care for us along the way through words of kindness, hugs, listening ears, sincerity, and love. As a result, our faith has only grown and our hope has extended itself again and again. With every donation, we will create a crane in your honor and to also bring good fortune upon yourself. We thank you in advance for the love and support in your hearts and cannot wait to become parents.

With Hope and Love,
Tamara and Tony
