Welcome!

Hello there and welcome!
We wanted to make this a very light hearted and just an easy way for you to get to know more about who we really are. {you know, all of those little things that you can't really get across in an adoption profile in an agency}

Kent and I{Tiffany} are an Optometry student family that was established in August of 2003 and consists of a Mommy and Daddy to-be but we can't wait to be parents. Since Kent is in his last year of Optometry we will be moving around the United States every few months for his clinical rotations, it makes an adoption blog the best way to communicate and meet anyone that might want to know more about us as an adoptive couple in waiting. We are both very open people and love any questions so please feel free to contact us.
We decided to write a smigget to explain the basis of who we are.

Tiffany

TIFFANY- I have a love for crafts and the arts in general, music especially. I have gone to college for a medical secretary diploma so that Kent could go to school at first. One day I still plan to go to school, a class here and there until I have a degree possibly Social Work. Since being a part of adoption and working with so many wonderful people I have a real respect for people that are going through adoption or are the people that bring it all together for us. Although, I can think of no better job than to be a mother and I'm excited for that day to come. This past couple years I had a little taste of that feeling when I took care of a little girl that has Down's Syndrome. She's an amazing girl that has changed me forever. She has taught me about patience, unconditional love, loving being yourself, appreciation for the simple things in life, and potty training techniques :o) She's truly one of the few people that you can say they are "beautiful inside and out." Kent and I enjoyed taking her to the park, playing her imaginary games with her and her dolls, reading her books, making crafts with her, running around the house, singing her songs with her, and baking cookies. Moving on to some other things you might want to know about me. I'm not totally a girly girl. I like to be dressed up and having a girl's night out but I rarely miss a chance to go camping, fishing, hiking, canoing, snowshoeing, and roasting hotdogs and smores over a firepit. I grew up in a family of four older brothers which might explain the love for these activities along with the painting toe nails and curling hair too. I must say that I enjoy a night in watching movies and eating popcorn too. I am a big fan of board games, cute little puppies, and feeding the birds. There is much more to me so please feel free to ask anything you'd like to know.
