"Life is brutal. But it's also beautiful. BRUTIFUL, I call it. Life's brutal and beautiful are woven together so tightly that they can't be separated. Reject the brutal, reject the beauty. So now I embrace both, and I live well and hard and real."

A momma working her way through the highs and lows of this thing called foster care adoption

My husband and I grew our family through adopting a brother and sister duo via foster care in the spring of 2018. The process has been just like the title of this blog--brutiful. Beauty and pain all mixed into one.

I look forward to sharing the adventure with you!
