So this week I actually have a GOOD excuse for not getting
my post done on Friday! Yesterday we were without power most of the day (more
on that later), and then shortly after we got power back, Mom left for a ‘get-away’
and took the internet router thingy with her. She’ll be back later today, and
I’ll publish this then, but for now I’m in a Word doc. J (I love how you can create a
blog post doc in Word!)
Onto today’s FF family! Meet the Simpson Family!
After blue x3, they are ready for some PINK! Meet Chloe, whom they are naming Katie. Isn't she just gorgeous??
CHLOE for the Simpson family — Wartrace, TN
Chris and Kim were married in 2003 and have three biological children. David is seven, Henry is six, and Jack is three. Kim works as a legal assistant and office manager for a small law firm and Chris is a stay-at-home dad and student.
Chris and Kim have long discussed the possibility of adopting a child. Those discussions turned very serious after meeting a little boy whose family found him through Reece’s Rainbow. After three boys, Chris and Kim are ready to add some pink to the mix at the Simpson house! They spent several hours over several weeks searching the Reece’s Rainbow website and kept coming back to Chloe. Her sweet face and pretty smile would not allow them to turn away. After lots of discussion, they decided to finally add a little girl to their family.
Chris and Kim’s first experience with special needs was with their eldest son, David who was diagnosed with apraxia of speech at 18 months old. He had many years of speech therapy and made great progress. He was later diagnosed with Tourette’s Syndrome and Sensory Processing Disorder. After getting David into an amazing, unique occupational therapy program, they cannot believe the progress and improvements they’ve seen. Chris and Kim have worked hard to ensure that David has the best therapies available to him and are always researching ways to help David improve and manage his needs. Both David and Henry attend a magnet school for high achieving children and are active in sports and scouting. Jack is an energetic, fun, happy, smart little boy who is curious about everything around him. The Simpsons are so eager to welcome a little girl into their family and their home. They have a happy house where laughter is always a part of the day. Chris, Kim, and their boys have so much love to share and cannot wait to bring Chloe home and make her a part of their family!
