This week I’d like to highlight and point you toward two of the families that blog here at HSB.  These families have and are adopting from Liberia, a country close to my own heart since that is where my sons were born.

Heather (http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/lazyd/ ). aka lazyd, added two beautiful children to their family last summer. It was quite an adventure to get the children home, and as soon as the children were home, the family had more adventures to deal with. Actually, it seems that Heather’s family has not stopped having adventures of one kind or another for quite some time.  Take a look at her blog and read about the process of adopting and bringing home the children, as well as the wonderful process of bonding that has taken place in the last six months. There’s a lovely photo of the family posted in November that you won’t want to miss.

Michelle (http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/lovinliberia/) is also in the process of adopting from Liberia.  This young mom of 5 keeps an incredible blog keeping everyone updated not only on their adoption processes, but on the happenings at the orphanages in Liberia. She has photos of Liberia as well as photos of families who have adopted from Liberia, and I even saw a video!  She says it best in her profile: “A peek into the lives of our family as we follow the Lord's leading in adopting children from Liberia. In sharing our journey with others we aim to spread awareness of the plight of Liberian orphans. We realize that the children of Liberia are only one small part of the greater needs of this world, but we as a family feel called to do what we can for even just a few of these children. If this blog encourages just one person to expand their worlds by reaching out to those in need, then we have accomplished what we are here to do. Please be in prayer for our family and for these orphans. God Bless those who share in this journey with us.”

Take a peek into the lives of these two lovely ladies.  If your heart isn’t moved, my husband will eat my hat.

Shurleen is a homeschooling mom of 8 and Nonnie of 3 in the Pacific Northwest. Shurleen and her husband, Tim, adopted two boys from Liberia to add to their good sized birth family.  The family has been priviliged to have experienced both the best and the worst in their adoptions.
