Love it. Thanks for sharing. May I ask how you got through the adoption process so quickly? Was it just moving faster then? We've been in the process for over 2 years and our son is 10 and not home yet. Amy
Awww...that was so sweet. Those little guys have sure blossomed in your family. And I know you feel incredibly blessed to have them. :) Too precious. d:)
I'm de-lurking after pouring over your blog for several weeks. I love reading about your family! :) Thanks so much for sharing your life with all of us!
We have a lot in common -- I'm also a professional working mom. My husband and I are white parents to a domestically adopted AA-Hispanic toddler boy and we believe in shared parenting. We're considering adopting from Haiti for #2. My name is even "Heather"!
I'm actually an adoption attorney, and have been amazed at the fact that you brought your boys home at 8 months. Like Amy, I'd love to learn more about how you got them home so fast!
Thanks again for sharing your beautiful, fun life with us!
Folks, I didn't realize I've never posted about how we got the boys home 'so fast'... I will post a real post about that soon. Keep checking back for it, O.k.? :) Heather P.S. The camera we are currently using is a Canon Powershot G7.
Ha - I now see how ridiculous my first post sounds! I'm sure that every day during those 8 months without your sweet boys seemed like an eternity! It's crazy that that's now considered "fast."
What an amazing journey! I love, love, love reading about your family adventures. Thank you for sharing your story and your happy, joyful boys with the rest of us.
My favorite posts are the the conversations between K&O. These provide a glimpse into what goes on in those little heads.
~ PARTY OF FIVE ~ The Johnson-McCormick Family Blog
About Our Blog
The Johnson-McCormick Family Blog is a blog spot for sharing the scoop on our little family's big life! We are Heather, Braydon, Kyle, Owen, and Meera Johnson-McCormick. Kyle and Owen are twins- born May 8, 2004 in Cite Soleil, Port au Prince, Haiti- adopted January 31, 2005. We became a "Party of 5" when Meera Grace was born to us on May 28, 2008. We have a crazy, fun-filled life with 3 bambinos and 2 big careers all under 1 roof - The point of this blog is three-fold: 1) to keep friends and family posted on K, O, and M's goings on's and our life, 2) to create an historical document/journal/scrapbook of this wild ride, 3) to be out there in the blogosphere -- loud and proud -- doing what we can to support other adoptive/inter-racial families and dual-career families in their journeys. Thanks for reading and following along! As Kyle and Owen say, "It's a bumpy bumpy ride!"(in a good way!).

It's all relative, isn't it?
In any event, I can't wait to hear more!
