Hi My name is Teisha Coyour and my husbands name is Nick. We have two biological children Hayli 2, and Kairi 1. That's our 2009 Christmas Photo. The background was a green screen, and the background picture was actually a painting :)
We went to our first "Learn about international adoption" Class in Feb 2010 and we thought that the Korea program would work best for our family. We got to talk to a family who adopted their daughter from Korea, I don't remember all that much from that class but we found out that we would have to wait to adopt until I was 25, which now I am 23. So now is our time to Read books about adoption, fund raise and prepare.

I actually found a really good book that I just started reading and its called "20 things adopted kids wish their adoptive parents knew" by Sherrie Eldridge. I found it from a link on a website and just had to read it. After I read the first 3 pages on amazon I was already crying. So I'm going to be reading it and probably commenting on how good it was in the near future.
I came up with the name Spirit of Adoption from the bible verse, Romans 8:15 which says " For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, "Abba! Father!"" Which talks about believers as adopted sons and daughters.

We have also started fundraising a little bit with Garage sales, My mom has had two already at her house and we will have one again in August sometime (I don't remember which weekend) but it will be the last one this year. If anyone has any ideas for fundraising (events etc) please message me on Facebook or Comment on the first post -Teisha
I didn't know you guys were planning on adopting. That is wonderful. I have a few friends who have adopted -there has been much joy (and some struggles) in their journeys. I hope for all the best for you and Nick!
