Abigail, otherwise known as Abby, came into our lives like a whirlwind, and she hasn't stopped spinning since!
Our son was only 14 months old when we got the news that there was a little girl in need of an adoptive family. When I say little, I do mean little! She was born at 3 pounds 6 ounces on April 12, 2003. We had only an hour to discuss it, pray, and make a decision if we wanted to go forward with adopting her.
Although she had some drug and alcohol exposure in utero and was born eight weeks early, she was healthy and strong. One NICU nurse called her, "the mighty one." She ate well and grew quickly, and we had her out of NICU and in our home one day before she turned three weeks old.
We hadn't even really begun to think about adoption again, but God knew our desire to have another child. He answered and blessed us with a precious little girl. She is a huge source of sunshine and laughter in our home, bringing a wonderful balance to the personalities in our family.
