Okay, so I’m officially tired of labeling all of these adoption posts as Adoption Sunday…especially since the most recent ones have NOT taken place on a Sunday! At this point, you get the idea. Time for some fun titles to reemerge 
(and by fun, I usually mean corny).
Anywho-Meet this special family that I had the chance to play with today. Four kiddos from two different countries. Ranging in age from 8 to 3, they have enough spunk, personality, and love for AT LEAST two more (*running, ducking*).
They are AWESOME! I laughed so much today, just watching these cool parents juggle the emotions and personalities that come with raising four children. And did I mention the three greyhounds? Two birds? And the partridge in the pear tree? 
(Kidding about that last part…I think)
Take a look at the love in this family…
Oldest to youngest…meet Gwendolyn. Adopted as a special needs child from China when her Mommy was single, she has the grace and poise of a young woman (with the giggle and sparkle of a Jonas Brothers fan). She was disappointed that today’s session didn’t involve more pictures of her (LOL).
Joey was next in line, and with that huge smile and open personality, he won me over in about 2 seconds. He’s definitely the entertainer of the group, quick to laugh and always ready to play. He was adopted from Kazakhstan at the same time as Truman (see below), and though they are not related, they were raised in the same room in their orphanage (how fitting that they find a forever home together).
Truman is the charmer of the group…he knows he’s a looker and OOH BOY are his parents in trouble when it comes to these big brown eyes and “cool” hair. Mr. Personality was big into monster faces and Sponge Bob, but I have mad camera skillz, and so managed to get a few of his big, beautiful smile.
Maisy is the baby of the group, adopted from China almost one year ago today. She is always up for a snuggle, and was SO CUTE laughing in her Daddy’s arms. Like her older sister her adoption was categorized as special needs, and she was one of so many waiting children looking for a home.
She found it.
I thought this was a great, off-the-cuff shot. Four kids, three greyhounds, two parents…no perfect family shot in sight, just love, emotion, chaos, and gratitude for the gift of these children.
