tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-304921202012-05-24T17:42:42.630-05:00This blog started as the story of our journey to adopt our first child from Russia in 2006 and then our life together as a family of three. Over the next 4 years, we became a family of SIX through 7 miscarriages, one failed adoption, one almost failed adoption, 2 adoptions from South Korea and the U.S., and then arrival of our micro-preemie in July 2010. In 2009-2010, we went from having one child to four in less than one year! We have had and are still on an incredible journey of love.Adrienne, Another Ordinary Miraclehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11970883436896687928noreply@blogger.comBlogger1189125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30492120.post-60602125922204258592012-05-17T22:07:00.001-05:002012-05-17T23:03:48.458-05:002012-05-17T23:03:48.458-05:00Adrienne, Another Ordinary Miraclehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11970883436896687928noreply@blogger.com14....It starts with a W and ends with a K!!! <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Z7BIfw3x6p8-3I1fjFEiQ8G1k6o/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Z7BIfw3x6p8-3I1fjFEiQ8G1k6o/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Z7BIfw3x6p8-3I1fjFEiQ8G1k6o/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Z7BIfw3x6p8-3I1fjFEiQ8G1k6o/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/OurJourneyOfLove/~4/ZdyItcFVWEA" height="1" width="1"/>http://www.anotherordinarymiracle.com/2012/05/guess-what-i-can-do.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30492120.post-81917383958476855342012-05-13T21:47:00.001-05:002012-05-13T21:50:55.392-05:002012-05-13T21:50:55.392-05:00Adrienne, Another Ordinary Miraclehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11970883436896687928noreply@blogger.com4To everyone who is a mom, has a mom, is a mom to a baby in Heaven, or is waiting to become a mom, I hope today was special in some way and that you know you are loved!
