Finally! A "little man."

For years the dream of having a son had been locked away in the back of my mind. Having two bio daughters, whom I love dearly, filled my life with many blessings Finding we could no longer have children was very tough to overcome, but I was content with that and told myself that this is what God had in mind for me, if He wanted me to have my "litte man" he would have given him to me.

Many years passed before one evening came that I was helping with a gymnastics sleepover and a little boy whom I didnt know, came and took me by the hand and said he was here with his sister but didnt know anyone else and asked if he could sleep beside me, I chocked as I said sure you can, Id like that too. That night changed my life forever as the dream of adopting a son was born. Brenda and I spent quite sometime before finally deciding to go forward with it and our daughters were thrilled of the thought of a brother.

With some research behind us we contacted Wasatch and soon found the little man that changed our life.

Within weeks we had our homestudy nearly completed and a travel date pending to go see the son we had longed for all this time. We traveled in late Oct, 2000 and were greeted in Bulgaria by the staff of the wonderful attorney hired by Wasatch. The visit trip was a whirlwind of emotions but it was clear we had found our son. We traveled back to Bulgaria 9 months later to have him in our arms forever.

My many thanks go to the wonderfull people at Wasatch, the attorneys, my family but most of all to God for sending us Trenton James, our son, brother, grandson, nephew......my little man.
