Challenges and difficult times are a necessary and an interesting part of life. They are what mold us into whom we ultimately become. When we are going through trials we often feel they are overpowering. However, later, when we look back, we see that we not only survived them, we overcame them and are now, hopefully, someone who is stronger and wiser. For us, each time we attempted to bring another child into our family, through adoption, it seemed we unlocked a larger door of adversity. This is our story.
