Maya's Adoption Story

Friday, September 23, 2005

Where do I begin?

In the beginning there were two of us....I met my beautiful wife Lori on an airplane over 10 years ago and as they say...the rest is history. After going back to school, changing careers and migrating from the blistering Arizona heat to Colorado we decided it was finally time to settle down.

Our adoption journey unofficially began when we attended an informational meeting for an adoption agency in Denver. We tested the waters with a few different agencies and eventually attended an AAC meeting that focused on Chinese and Korean adoption. After talking to real parents with children from China, hearing their incredible stories and seeing thier beautiful children, all we needed to know was where to sign up!

We officially began our journey in January 2005 as we began the arduous process of assembling all the vestiges of our life history into one (very large) dossier. We'll try to post most of the milestones, trials and tribulations that we have been through and are likely to encounter in the future as we wait for our baby Maya here in our weblog. Family, friends, strangers, parents-to-be, you are all welcome here. We are happy to share our joy with you.

  • Dear Maya,
    You are coming to a home filled with love and joy. Your new mother and father are waiting for you with devoted hearts, bright intelligent minds, love for each other and this world and you. How fortunate to be on your journey toward each other where you will make all your lives more complete.

    I'm looking forward to meeting and holding you, Maya. I'm your nana and my middle name is May, my grandmother's name was May and for all we know you may come to us in May, the month that is known as Maia's.

    Waiting --- which is the greatest and most difficult gift.

    M (John's mom)
