A Dream Of Adoption!
“I’ve known I want to adopt since I was a toddler. Even before we married, I told my husband that I would need to adopt someday.” Said Joelle.
The adoption procedure was the most difficult thing I have ever done in my life. It’s more difficult than beginning any business. I just felt like I was continually at a dead end. But I refused to give up hope; I couldn’t picture my life without adoption. So I kept trying and asked everyone I know for aid.
Joelle’s Picture Perfect Family!
Nathan is now four, and his bond with his siblings, Bailey, 21, and Ella, 12, is simply great. The age difference is something I suggest for any family. I adore the nine-year age difference between Bailey and Ella, as well as the eight-year age difference between Ella and Nathan. It provided each of them plenty of room to be babies while yet being the center of attention.
All family members have a high level of regard for one another. My spouse and I respect the children and expect to be respected in return. There is a lot of love and support, as well as the freedom to express oneself.
The Dream Parents!
I believe I’m a loving, caring, and protective mother. I just want them to do their best and not take anything for granted. I want them to appreciate every moment and understand how much work went into providing them with the life they have today. And, most importantly, I want them to be happy and well-behaved.
My husband and I share parenting responsibilities, so we are both involved with our children. We are a team. Traveling together is one of our favorite things to do as a family since it allows us to learn so much about our children. We have breakfast, lunch, and dinner together, and our entire focus is on them. There are many talks that take place while traveling that do not generally occur at home. Holidays also help the kids bond more because they have more time to be together.
They are separated from their buddies, therefore they must undertake the activities together. Our favorite vacations include skiing in Switzerland and travels to the Maldives, where the kids enjoy fishing and diving. I cherish every moment with my family. It is critical to savor every moment because time flies by and cannot be recovered.
The most rewarding aspect of becoming a mother is the love I feel when I think of my children. It is the best gift that God can bestow. It’s extremely rewarding because they are the best things in life; nothing else can ever compare to my children.”
