Q&A

We thought that it would be fun to share some questions & answers about our family that we've put together, so you can learn a little bit more about us! (It's a little long...feel free to read as little or as much as you like!) Without further ado, Q&A with the Haslams!

Kindness...

Dear Birthmom, 

Kindness...

Isn't it amazing how a single act of kindness can change your whole day around? Heck...maybe even your whole life around!

I am so grateful for the kindness of this world. The kindness of people, family, friends and complete strangers astounds me. I stumbled across what this amazing woman is doing to spread kindness...and I loved it! Life is too short to not be kind. 

Just wanted to spread a little bit of kindness to you...

You are awesome. You are worth while. You are amazing.  Don't you every doubt it! 

Love ya, Jamie

EXCITING NEWS!

Some exciting news in the Haslam household and our adoption story...WE'RE APPROVED AND PUBLISHED! We're approved to adopt through LDS Family Services! We have a profile on their "It's About Love" site...you can check it out here!

Please, if you can in ANY way pass along, email, txt, blog, send an owl out into the universe, and share our story and profile, we would be SO appreciative!

The sad news is...we don't have very long! LDS Family Services is discontinuing to do adoptions at the end of the year! We feel SO very fortunate we get to be with them for a couple of months...so we're going to make those months count!

I'm an continually in awe and amazement at the kindness of everyone that has helped us so far spread the news! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!

The Entire Universe...

Steve and I have great conversations while driving in the car...it's some of my favorite time that we spend together. We started reminiscing yesterday about the events that led up to how we met (it's a pretty good story...look it up in our love story). By the end of our conversation, I turned to him and said "I'm SO glad you found me!" 

Call it fate, call it heavenly intervention, call it what you will...but somehow the stars aligned just right for us, and we became a family. It amazes me to think that it could have so easily gone the other way...and we could have simply passed each other by. How glad I am that we didn't! 

I spent years wishing, hoping, praying that I would find him. And through all the ups and downs, the wrong turns, the almosts-what-ifs-could-have-beens...it came down to just being in the right place at the right time. 

But now we're wishing, hoping and praying together...to find our missing piece. And I believe the universe will conspire again to help us find each other. 

Sometimes you have to just let go and see what happens...

Dear Birthmom, 

Love you!

Jamie
