Home Visit #2 ... September 15th!

Ok, is it just us or does it feel like we've just completed #1??? We rec'd an email today from our Case Worker, CP, advising us of his schedule for Visit #2. Not really sure what to expect but will contact CP on Monday. Will update all accordingly. Wow, things are really moving along ... guess we better expedite the nursery.

"our Journey" continues ... stay tuned!

Dear Birthmother

Dear Birthmother,

We know that you are reading this because you are considering placing your baby for adoption. We appreciate and admire your courage and strength, and pray that you will receive a sense of peace and comfort about your decision. We believe that adoption is a beautiful relationship between two families that want the best life imaginable for one of God’s children. We know how much love it takes to make this decision and we are so honored to even be considered.

We cannot imagine the range of emotions you are currently facing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you as you make this journey, perhaps the most difficult journey of your life. Don’t ever doubt your selfless love and incredible sacrifice. Please know should you select us to parent your child, your child will always hear about the love that brought all of us together.

We have no idea who our future child will be, but know that we love them already. From the moment we made our decision to expand our family through adoption, we have carried them in our hearts. We (especially their big sister) think of them daily, what they will look like, and what they will become.

Our promises …

To You:
· To respect your decision
· To be open with you about ourselves
· To share with your child all the love that went into your decision
· To raise your child in a living home under the admonition of God

To Your Child:
· To pick them up when they are down
· To embrace their laughter
· To kiss away all their tears
· To hug them, to love them
· To encourage their dreams
· To be there for them always!!!

We would be honored to talk with you about your adoption plan and hope that in doing so, it lessens your pain and brings comfort. Our prayer is that God will guide you to the right family. May you find peace in your decision … listen to your heart.

Blessings and Peace.
