HOPING TO ADOPT: THE JOHNSON FAMILY
Hello!
We
are Timmy and Niccole the overly excited parents of Ollie and Thor (our
Maltese). Prior to being married
Niccole knew that at some point in her life she wanted to adopt children, her
mother was adopted into an LDS family at birth, so naturally adoption had
always been a part of her life. Timmy thought adoption sounded like a great
idea in the future. We enjoyed five fun years of marriage together living in
Salt Lake City and Orange County, California (where we are both natives)
studying, working, traveling and enjoying our lives together with out any
children. After many years of trying to become pregnant without any infertility
treatments the thought popped into our heads that NOW is the time for us to
adopt! DUH!
The
day our birth mother contacted us we were shocked! We were hit with a flood of
emotions that we still can remember today. Through our correspondence with our
birth mother we got to know each other and felt so much love for her. We had
the great privilege of spending many months with our birth mother and lots of
sleepovers at our home. She was and is like a little sister to Niccole. We grew
to love her more than we can adequately express. She is a dream come true to
us! She gave birth to our sweet angel Ollie in September 2011. We were so
fortunate to be at the hospital with her and got to partake in watching her
love Ollie just as we do. She is incredibly strong. Those days were extremely
emotional for each of us. We were so ecstatic to be parents yet our hearts were
breaking watching the pain in her eyes. We cannot imagine how painful that time
was for her.
Ollie
is the joy of our lives. He is the most beautiful child ever with a wild curly
fro, chunky thighs and a big belly. His rosy cheeks are full, his lips are
luscious and his skin is milky smooth.
He is the perfect mix of African-American, Panamanian and Caucasian. A
true breathtaking beauty.
We
have witnessed in our lives a modern day miracle. We are still in awe of our
adoption journey. With out Heavenly Father in our lives this would not be
possible. We can still recall feeling surrounded in so much love through out
many times of the adoption process. The spirit touched us and our birth family
in ways we never had known before. There is not a day that passes that we are
not thinking of our birth mother. It has been a joy to watch her move forward
in her life. She has overcome giant obstacles and continues to thrive. We are
truly grateful to maintain a life long and forever relationship with her.
Niccole
absolutely loves being a stay at home mother. She left her fashion career
behind and has never looked back. She spoils Ollie each day. Which is evident
in the mass amounts of photos she continually posts on Instagram! Timmy is lucky to work for himself with
an office 10 minutes from our home. We spend a lot of time together toting
Ollie all over the place! Timmy enjoys surfing and photographing so each
Saturday you can find us in Laguna on the sand.
Ollie
is now 18 months, the time sure does fly! He is very active and enjoys playing
with our 8-pound pup. But he really needs a sibling! We are eager to grow our family once again through adoption.
We plan to adopt all of our children and pray that once again we can witness
another miracle in our lives.
To
catch a glimpse into our daily lives and see what we are all about follow us
along on Instagram. What you see is what you get! The good, the sad, the fun,
the boring, its all us.

Niccole, Ollie and Thor
