About Me

My photo
aka. Mimi
Entering my 7th year as a single foster (now ADOPTIVE) mom. Most days I think "I Must Be Trippin'" when I talk about all of the craziness that is Foster/Adopt Land in one breath, and how much I LOVE MY LIFE in the next. Because I DO love my life, and I wouldn't change a thing.
