Adoptive Nursing

It is a miracle of creation that God has provided a way for adoptive mothers to provide the perfect food for their adopted newborns! Regular pumping with a professional grade double pump may stimulate milk production in two to three weeks. Most adoptive mothers cannot provide 100% of the baby's needs and will need to supplement with bottles or supplemental nursing system. If there is enough time, the adoptive mother can freeze a supply of milk for her baby and not need to give the baby any formula.

Adoptive nursing is a wonderful way for an adoptive mothers to bond with her baby and provide very important health benefits.

Search the web for adoptive nursing or induced lactation. Or contact me for personal advice and support.

Kellie Coffey music video that deals with the emotions of adoption.

I wanted to share this music video that could be helpful to people considering adoption or already in the adoption process.

The importance of Family

Family is the most important thing in our lives. Jason and I are extremely close to our parents and our extended family. My mother in law comes to our house to watch Gaby Monday through Friday and my father watches her on Friday. I work with my father in law and we see my parents at least every weekend.

Gaby loves spending time with Jason's brother, Uncle Jeff and Jason's sister, Auntie Rachele. Most of the time we just hang out, eat and laugh. Jason's family is one of those families that just laughs at everything. We have a great time together.

My brother Randy is married and has three sons;Luke, Jake and Mark. They live in Southern California. Gaby just loves her cousins. We flew to California to see them in September and we had the best time!! Seeing each other at least twice a year is an absolute must!

Christmas 2006

This year was the first Christmas where Gaby started to "get it." She was really into Santa and the reindeer and everything else that goes along with it. Needless to say, we had a blast! Jason and I stood in every line and took her to almost every event where Santa was going to make an appearance. It was a busy holiday.

In this picture we were in downtown Boston at the annual tree lighting. She loved it!!!


 Here we are on Christmas Eve!!


Gaby just put out cookies for Santa!!


We had a wonderful Christmas!!!!

Easter Weekend

This weekend we celebrated Easter. It a very special holiday for us. It is such a time of renewal and rebirth. The long winter is over and what the day represents is so spiritual. We all get dressed up for church and sing praise. It is also a time for family and togetherness. This year we spent Saturday with my family and Sunday with Jason's. It was a blast! We had two Easter egg hunts and two big meals and of course we all got two big Easter baskets!

Here we are after church:

Read this 114 year old book about adoption in Massachusetts.

This is a book titled "History of Children Saving" that has some interesting things about the history of adoption in America. I found it crazy that even in the 1890's there where more people wanting to adopt than children waiting for adoption.

Download History of Children Saving for free and turn to page 57 to read about the adoption process.

Here are some photos of adopted children from the book.
