Adoption was a bumpy ride - very bumpy. But, God, was it worth the fight.

I want to be a fun mom. Not a gasping for air mom.

When my body is strong, I feel stronger inside. I feel more capable of handling emotional situations. Usually I'm more of a inside-out person, but this was a great case of me from the outside in.

I say to everybody, 'Adoption is not for the faint of heart.'

In life you have two choices. You can laugh or you can cry. You have to laugh, you have to.

My Dad taught me that good health is all about living in gratitude.

Having a child changes everything. All of a sudden you have so much to lose, so much to live for.
