FALL FESTIVAL
Day Two

"Celebrate the happiness that friends are always giving, make everyday a holiday and celebrate just living." -Amanda Bradley

Part of what makes our myadoptionwebsite community so special are the people I refer to as "friends" . . . those who, though not using our website service, visit regularly, sign guestbooks, send good wishes and Jennifer's Place ideas, and pray for and celebrate with each myadoptionwebsite family. Most are in the waiting stage of their own adoptions, though some are friends of families who used our service and now just can't help but check back on the other wonderful journeys as well! And others have simply found us and, having hearts for adoption, just enjoy seeing the joy found here on our pages.

One myadoptionwebsite friend is Chrissie, whose own adoption journey changed after giving birth to her sweet daughter, Carley. Chrissie is so sweet and still loves visiting myadoptionwebsite regularly . . . she sent the following recipe for you to enjoy - - and a photo of little Carley too! Thanks Chrissie, and to all the wonderful myadoptionwebsite friends who help make this community a special place.
