Welcome

Welcome to our Blog!

We are excited that you've chosen to take the time to visit our blog and learn a little more about us, for whatever reason. As you read about us, we hope that your heart will be touched in some way and that, if it's right, you might feel compelled to contact us further. Please feel free to contact us with any further questions you might have that haven't already been answered in this blog. We are pretty open people, with no secrets to keep! :)

Note to Birth Parents:

We are very excited to someday meet our future birth parents! We often find ourselves thinking about them and their families...............wondering where they are and what they are doing at different times. We wonder whether they've already begun their own 'adoption journey' ....or whether it's still to come and they don't even know it yet. Our hearts ache for them and we look forward to holding them in our arms, crying with them, and sharing some of the pain and heartache that they will go through.

Whether you are our future birthparents or not, we want you to know that we love you and we think you are amazing to be able to make such a selfless sacrifice for your precious child. We are very aware that this will be one of the most difficult and heart wrenching decisions you'll probably ever make in your life! We hope and pray that you will be able to take his experience that you are going through and make it a very personal, spiritual, uplifting experience for yourself.........and that you will learn and grow from it. We are sure that, in spite of whatever mistakes you may have made in the past, your Heavenly Father loves you and is there for you. You don't have to feel alone and afraid. On behalf of so many other adoptive couples out there who are praying and hoping every day....just as we are....thank you for giving us the opportunity to finally, someday, be able to have a family of our own to love and cherish. Without you, so many of us might not be able to have that opportunity. Again, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We wish you all the love and happiness in this world, and we hope and pray for you to help you find the 'right' family for your baby, whether it be us or some other lucky couple. Please take care of yourself and good luck in your journeys!

Openness About Adoption:

We also feel that it's very important that we let you know about out thoughts and feelings regarding the openness of adoption.

We are very open to adoption. We embrace it with arms wide open. We are grateful for the experiences we've already had and we look forward to the experiences that are still yet to come. We hope to be able to have a very open, friendly relationship with our future birthparents. We feel that the openness will depend a lot on what the birthparents are comfortable with.......and what will help them in their healing process to move forward with their lives after placing their baby with us. We would love to have a closeness with the birthparents that will allow our child to never have to doubt whether or not they are loved. We don't believe in keeping secrets from our child, and have no intention of keeping the fact that they are adopted a secret. We feel that it's very important to the happiness and well-being of the child to know exactly who they are and where they came from, and to know the special story of their adoption. We feel that it's very important for our child to know and understand that their birthparents love them very much and want what is best for them.
