Hello & welcome to my site. My name is Sarah. I live in the beautiful Pacific NW with my husband Paul & our two beautiful kids, Braxton & Sarita. These two kids are adopted. Little did I realize how my life was about to change when I met my husband. We met online in early 2000 and met in person about 6 months later. Braxton was 5 months old then. Paul had physical custody of him. Paul is the biological grandfather of both kids. At that time, Braxton was a victim of shaken baby. He was shaken by both bio parents. I started dating Paul and was helping with Braxton. What a handsome little guy he was. Braxton was actually a ward of the state and Paul had no intention of adopting him and raising him by himself. He already raised his two boys, after their mom died when they were very young. In July of 2001, Paul got tired of the state trying to shift Braxton around and decided he was going to keep him. I told him, he was not going to adopt him without me. We adopted Braxton in December 2001 and we then married on 3/29/2003. Sarita was born on January 30, 2005 to Paul's son and his new wife. Because of what happened to Braxton, the state asked us to take her. Even though my leg was in a cast, we said "YES!" and brought her home. In the end we adopted her in November 2008...What a beautiful little girl. Her little fingers were long and skinny, reminding me of spiders as her fluids had not yet filled her skin. She was so very tiny. Little Braxton did not know what to think. However; when he saw all of her stuff, he took her diaper bag and car seat and set it all outside on the front porch. I gently worked with him, asking him to help me by getting me her diapers, etc. This really helped him to accept her. He really loved feeding her. In 2007, we bought another home that was bigger and rented the home on the hill. Thus began our family life in the country
