Happy Anniversary!!
As I look back over the past year I have many emotions to share. I’ve been excited and overwhelmed, I’ve been sad and I’ve been happy. I’ve even been frustrated. But, I have also at times been in total disbelief that this is happening.
This month marks the one year anniversary of COVE ADOPTIVE FAMILIES!!! It’s hard for me to put into words how much emotion comes with even just typing this! It all started with an idea I had for some of us adoptive families to get together… and now look. Just in one year we have grown from an idea to a corporation that is waiting for non-profit status approval. We have 25 members. Some of which who just enjoy the emails and informational updates and some who have been so vital in the growth of CAF that I would never have been able to make it the success it is without them. But whatever your role, whatever your involvement with Cove Adoptive Families, it is special and it is appreciated.
We've also had a lot of family and friends support. I can't talk about the success of CAF without mentioning the support of my husband and my friends. So thank you all for your support. And also the outpouring of support we have and still are receiving from our community agencies. I have truly been blessed this year by so many people. It's just been amazing!
We’ve gone from just a few of us socializing with one another to making a stand in our community advocating and educating about adoption. We’re embarking on new fundraising projects, we’ve added several new children this past year and I am hoping we add even more next year!!!
This group has become something that warms my heart and brings a smile to my face. It has grown into something that I never expected. It has become a mission and a vision for our family and hopefully for yours too. We have made some great friends and awesome connections for our families. I am excited to continue our relationships and to grow with all of you.
I just wanted to thank each and every one of you for your awesome contribution to making COVE ADOPTIVE FAMILIES a true success. I can only imagine if we did this much in just one year what will our second year bring!!
So please join me as we embark on a brand new journey towards 2010!!! Thanks to all of you!! And Happy Anniversary!!

Finalization Day
Here we are on finalization day. A journey that started only a little over a year ago closes today on February 13th, 2007 at the courthouse with Lisa our social worker. Lisa is an angel to our family. Our family is complete. We could not have done it without the help of God, and our friends and families. Thank you to all of our wonderful friends and to our supportive families who made this miracle come true.

THANK YOU for all you do for the group, and us! It is wonderful to be able to talk to a group of people that really understand what it is like to live our lives. I look forward to Jacob knowing other children that were adopted, like him. I am especially happy to know that he will get to know more children that LOOK like him in our small community. Thank you for the support, the shoulder to lean on, and the friendship that I have found at CAF.
