November is National Adoption Awareness Month and November 22 is National Adoption Day, which are both nice reminders of the importance of adoption and foster care, but adoption is obviously something that should happen and be celebrated year round. This week, as part of our In Real Life series where we showcase children who have products from our line of personalized baby gifts, we place the spotlight on Kim and her adorable sons, the youngest of which was recently welcomed into the family via adoption.
1. What are your kiddos’ names and ages?
Jake is 3 years old. Weston is 6 weeks old.
2. Adoption is a beautiful thing. Who did you celebrate it with?
All of our celebrations include our amazing family.
3. What are some tips or words of wisdom you’d give to families considering adoption?
The adoption process can be a roller coaster of emotions – from the time you choose adoption until the baby is in your arms. Don’t let the disappointments get you down, because you will have them. Choose to enjoy the journey and have faith that your time will come.
4. What are your favorite Petite Lemon products and why?
I love the personalized onesies and shirts!
5. What is your favorite social media platform?
I enjoy Facebook the most because it is how I engage with my family and friends from all over. We have close family in other states and I love the ability to share pictures and videos of our cute kiddos with them.
6. What is your fav blog right now?
www.heartinthehome.org. It happens to be written by my niece but I love it! I love her fun ideas on cooking, decorating and family activities.
7. What is your fave Instagram?
I follow my friends and family – they are the most important people to me.
8. Define motherhood in one word:
Sacrifice
