Welcome to Our Adoption Blog

Adoption is near and dear to our hearts and I truly know this is the path the Lord intends for Joel and I to start our family. This is an exciting and scary time for us. We know this journey will bring lots of ups and downs, just like our journey with infertility, but we are ready and prepared for it.

We are so excited to FINALLY have our adoption blog up and running. We hope this helps others get to know us more, especially birth moms. Our journey of adoption has been in the works for a while now and it is a relief to be approved to adopt and seek out expanding our family. Hence, the title of our blog - SKOUSEN EXPANSION PLAN. This blog is where we hope birth moms will be able to see into our daily lives more and not only feel that we would be excellent adoptive parents to their child, but also get a sense of what it would be like to be a part of our family. This blog will also be kept up as our family continues to expand, hopefully child after child.

There is a tab on our blog titled "KIND WORDS" - this is set up for our family and friends to write little thoughts about Joel and I individually, as a couple, and how we will be as parents. To me, if I were a birth mom considering adoption, I would like to know what other people think of the couple, rather than only hear the couples' opinion about themselves. Although we are pretty awesome, we hope others will take the opportunity to brag about us too. HINT HINT - so feel free to leave a "kind word" about us.
