I just wanted everyone to know that Matt and I are in the process of adopting a 7 year old little girl. Her name is Hallie. She has been with us a month and is in school here in Rexburg.
We were not looking into adopting but through divine guidance she was brought into our life. We have been very blessed to have been chosen to be her mom and dad. We have grown to love her more each day.
I am learning to be a mom of a grade schooler again and have realized more in my old age and through the experiences I have had, that I have a huge obligation of teaching her the gospel everyday. I feel the urgency of it now more than I did when our other kids were little. I just think I have learned more of what the eternities really are to all of us and how important families are to be sealed together.
Remember I love you all and looking forward to be families together forever.

ReplyDeleteThat is so neat! You will be wonderful parents to Hallie. We can say that because we lived right next to you for several months and we know that you will be wonderful! Good luck with your new adventure and tell Hallie "welcome to the Porter Family!"
