This blog started out as an adoption profile to let others get to know us. We have now adopted the sweetest little guy. His name is Max. He was born with Down Syndrome, and we think he's perfect! This blog is now about our journey forward with him. We have another blog (link here) that details the more crazy everyday happenings in our household. Feel free to check it out as well. I update it more frequently. Someday, I may combine the two blogs. For now, this is for Max, his birthparents, and anyone else who wishes to follow our miracle :)

More about Steve {by Kristin}:

An amazing husband and dad, Steve is hard-working, very thoughtful, and pretty easy going. He sends thank-you cards for everything! He loves to surprise me with little gifts or overnight getaways, and he sends flowers the day before my birthday so I can enjoy them all day on my birthday.


He works as an attorney and although his job requires him to wear a suit and tie most days, he is more comfortable in shorts and a t-shirt. He shares a partnership in a small law firm which often allows for a pretty flexible schedule. When our daughter, Piper, was a baby, he would often come home from work in the middle of the day just to hold her for a few minutes. He still comes home for lunch at least once a week. Last week he took a day off to give me some free time and took Piper to the zoo.

I get a kick out of watching him play with Piper. He has a great sense of humor. Just last night he was in the living room, twirling, hands overhead - a ballerina! Piper giggled with delight as she danced with her Daddy. He loves being silly with ’his girls’. Steve is absolutely curious about most things and can get drawn into most programs on the History or National Geographic Channels quite easily. He also collects autographs and memorabilia to display in his office. He goes to the gym most days and hopes to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro on his 40th birthday. A child of the 80's, he knows far too much about pop culture from that era than anyone should. He loves the occasional concert, and enjoys most 80's new wave or hair metal bands.
