T-Shirt Design

We are thinking about creating some T-shirts to sell on our other site Adopt a Scarf site. We are still finalizing the details, and once we receive the shirts we will officially go live.

YAC Blog

This is a blog that I wrote for Belmont's Young Alumni Council blog.

When I wrote my last blog for YAB GAB I figured by my next my turn I would be officially a father. I would have pictures and a wonderful adoption story that I could somehow loosely tie back to Belmont or my Belmont experience. I thought I might have a story about how our son trying to serve me breakfast in bed, and syrup got everywhere. It was going to be a nice blog that would be roughly 3 paragraphs long and include 1 anecdote. However, adoption is never formulaic, and in our case we have been to Russia once and are waiting to go again. By the time you read this, we will have been back from our first trip to Russia for 3 months and are still waiting to go back to get our son.

It has now been a couple of weeks since Father’s Day, and our bed remains syrupless. It was a day for me that felt more like I had a son who was in college or beyond rather than 4 year old child. And as frustrating as it has been waiting and waiting and waiting for the last 3 months, there is hope in that frustration. Hope that someday very soon I will see my son again. Hope that a couple of weeks later, I will bring him home for the first time. Hope that someday he will have a desire to go to college. And hope that he will be a basketball star dunking over some inept Lipscomb player! In waiting there is hope.
