			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today marks one of the biggest days in my family&#8217;s life. We were blessed with the legal adoption of  my two older kids on this day in 2002. Tomorrow marks their baptism in 2003.</p>
<p>What started out as a way to assist someone in my life so they could be there for their kids turned into a life changing event in my life. With this change came giving up a job I had for 12 years and was making great money. I was never home. I worked and average of  72 hours a week.  My hubby had all the late night duties and most weekends with the kids. I was missing so much.  Today I thank GOD for all those changes and blessings.</p>
<p>Then the adventure of getting the kids baptized which really took me almost two years. Form the time I was told they would be my children I tried to plan but I hit one wall after another.</p>
<p>I want to write something profound here to match what I&#8217;m feeling&#8230; but the words just don’t want to come out. I feel so blessed to have the kids and I want the world to know. How do I say it without taking away from the wonderful feeling it leaves in my heart every time I write the date.  And I&#8217;ve written the date at least 50 times already today and I will many more times before the day is out. <img src="http://thecreativedream.com/wp-includes/images/yahoo/yahoo4.gif" class="wp-smiley" /></p>
