Hi I'm Laura.

As a young child, I suffered second and third degree burns to my legs, back, and upper arms. I've gone through numerous reconstructive surgeries since. Because of my injuries, I was put in foster care at the age of two. I was fortunate to be adopted two years later by this same family, and my life has been incredibly blessed ever since. I met my husband at a church activity in September 2006. We enjoyed spending time with each other, and it didn't take long for us to decide we wanted to be together for time and for eternity. We were married July 21, 2007. Another blessing in my life arrived on August 3, 2010. My husband and I had a little girl! We're so happy to have her with us, and I love being a mom. I look forward to teaching her and raising her to be a good person with a knowledge of who she is and where she comes from. I see myself as a fairly "normal" young adult. I love to read, sing, dance, and be around other people. My true passion, though, is writing. I've had several poems published and am currently working on my first novel. I grew up in the St. Louis, Missouri area and still live there. We love it here, and I honestly hope we don't move for quite some time!
