ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO - OCTOBER 14: The moon completely crosses in front of the sun during the Annual Solar Eclipse on October 14, 2023 in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Differing from a total solar eclipse, the moon in an annular solar eclipse appears too small to cover the sun completely, creating a "ring of fire" effect around the moon.

"ADOPTION ANNOUNCEMEMT 🎊🎉🍻
Just over 3 years ago, I had a call asking if I could take in pair of siblings. As usual, I knew little about them and with space in my home and my heart, I of course took them in.
The aim of fostering is to look after children until they can be reunified with their biological parents. If this doesn't happen, then kinship adoption is the next option. This means someone biologically related to them would come forward and adopt them. But sadly for the children, no one came forward. 😢
During the last 3 years we have shared so many memories, children moving in and out of the home, day trips to meet my brother and his family, games nights, trips to eat ice cream, road trips to see Zay, aquariums, theme parks...the list goes on. 📝
So, when I was finally given the opportunity to adopt them, I of course was thrilled. 🎉
Adoption is not only about celebrating that the children can now have a sense of belonging - knowing they can stay in the home they know and the life they know; but is also about grieving the loss of their hope to return to their biological parents.
I have promised to seek a relationship with their biological parents which will be new territory to navigate. Keep us in your thoughts and prayers for the best outcome for everyone. 🙏🏾
For now, we can celebrate together! 🎉🎊🏡🤗🥰
Please welcome our two new Mutabazi's to the family - Isabella Mutabazi and Luke Mutabazi. 🩷💙"
