This has been a long time in coming, since we made the decision to adopt almost one year ago, after we found out I wouldn't be able to conceive. We know adoption is the way our children are meant to come to our family. Now, after filling out a mound of paperwork, being fingerprinted for background checks, getting physical exams, being interviewed, having a home study, and creating an online profile, we are finally finished. Whew! It was a lot of work, but I hear pregnancy is too! We are so excited at being one step closer to bringing a child into our home. Thank you to all of you who have supported us throughout this journey. It really means a lot to know we have so many people praying and hoping for us to become parents. We have already learned so much this year about adoption and hope we can share with others what a positive and wonderful thing it can be.
Adoptive families are encouraged to find their baby, as opposed to waiting for a baby, and that's where you come in! We need your help in spreading the word that we are hoping to adopt. If you know of an expectant parent considering her options, you can direct her to LDS Family Services through the website www.itsaboutlove.org. There she can find an agency near her and receive counseling and support. Our agency is in Houston, Texas and can be reached at 281-537-0211. If she is interested in viewing adoptive family profiles, that can also be done at itsaboutlove.org. Our profile can be found by searching our names or by our profile id 23149140.
