Smile We have decided to adopt!

After two and a half years of trying - three failed pregnancies (none past 5.5 weeks) - horrible doctors - and LOTS of prayers - We have decided to add another leaf to our family tree via adoption.

At first this idea scared us, naturally - but we have researched it enough to where we know what we'd be getting into - and we feel so good about it. We have friends and family who have adopted and we've seen nothing but blessings come from it.

My husband and I cannot wait to be parents - and it kills me every time I see him holding a little baby - I know he would give anything to be "daddy".

I'm here to give and receive support - but also, I'm here for networking. We are probably going to go through an agency - but we're also hoping we might be able to find a birth mom on our own. Either way - we are so anxious! If you know of anyone who is considering abortion or anyone looking for an adoptive family, please send them our way. We would love to give a sweet baby a fresh start on life - in a VERY loving, caring, and fun home.

Pray for us and wish us luck!

Wonderful decision! I was adopted myself. It is a loving option. To give a baby a home who needs it is beyond love.
My parents gave me the very best home, love, and support.
My parents went through the Edna Gladney Home. www.gladney.org. That is an agency I'd recommend, but I am sure there are very good ones where you live too.
Congrats!
