“Keep love in your heart. A
life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are
dead. The consciousness of loving and being loved brings a
warmth and richness to life that nothing else can bring.” Oscar
Wilde
We decided
to create a room for Oscar that combines fantasy with fun.
His grandmother (Chris’s mom) describes Oscar’s room as an
amusement park! As you can see from the photos, the room
has a fairy tale theme with knights, dragons, and castles.
We kept the room painted purple since we felt it went
along with the “royalty” theme!
Working on Oscar’s room made us feel closer to him. We
knew with every accomplishment, we were one step closer to
our boy. The sign above the window of his room says, “I am
a dream come true.” He most certainly is. We can’t wait
for the first time we walk into his room together – as a
family.

“Feelings of worth can
flourish only in an atmosphere where individual differences are
appreciated, mistakes are tolerated, communication is open, and
rules are flexible -- the kind of atmosphere that is found in a
nurturing family.” Virginia Satir |
