Our Journey Begins.....

We are Cle and Sylvie. Welcome to Our Adoption Journey. We are in the beginning stages of our adoption and we are extremely excited about the journey ahead.

Ok.... where do we start. Let's see. We have been married for 5 years and we have been trying to conceive for about 3 years. We haven't had any success. We did see a specialist but we decided that we did not want to go through any extreme measures to get pregnant. Now don't get me wrong, we are not knocking anyone who decides to use IVF or any other means to have a bioligical child. But we decided that was not for us, particularly. Before we were married, we both talked about our desire to have biological children, and then adopting. Well things don't always happen like you think they should, and sometimes God has a different plan in mind. His way is always perfect and we really feel that he is leading us on the road to adopting our child.

Adoption is really a journey! Cle and I have researched and talked to other adoptive parents, we've been to different agencies and lawyers trying to find the right place to use to fit our particular needs.

Why Create an Online Journal (a Blog)?

We decided to create an online journal because we are really excited about adding a child to our family. We have a lot of friends and loved ones we'd like to share our joy with. Some many people have questions about the adoption process. We don't mind the questions, but we thought this would be a great way to keep everyone updated on where we are in the process and to understand all of the things you have to go through on the journey. It is a very detailed process. We don't mind sharing the details, but there are just soooo many!

So we hope you enjoy reading our blog and feel free to post questions and comments. We will try to keep you updated on the process and look foreword to hearing from you. For now, Be Blessed!
