  1. This made me laugh and start singing "Secret Agent Man."
  2. Many prayers being said for all that love this sweet little girl. Congrats Tim and Leslie!
  3. Love this, sounds like a good grandmother!! You do add so much to this community and I am so thankful for your involvement!
  4. Congrats to the newest Mommy and Daddy!
  5. Grace Ann had the I Am A Big Sister Book, very cute.
  6. Oh this is so sad! Kay was very sweet. We missed her this year at our reunion. Praying for her family!
  7. Congrats to both families who became one today.
  8. We had a couple of fundraisers before we adopted our son. I have been told by many of our church members who helped that they feel closer to our kids because they helped us bring Jack home. We also applied for several grants whose foundations raise money to fund the grants, so is there a difference there? I have a good friend who has three biological children who is currently waiting a international adoption. She is doing several fundraisers to bring her next child home. Grace Ann loves wearing the shirt she bought from one of their fundraisers because she is so excited to help another child come home.
  9. So sad, praying for his entire family.
  10. Wow, this birthmom has been though so much in the past few days. Praying for her while I rejoice with Monica, Gary and Garrett as they add not one person but two people to their family tree.
  11. Congrats! Can't wait to see a brothers picture.
  12. When we adopted Grace Ann, her birthmom's mom was very upset that she placed her for adoption. She said lots to Monica before and after the birth. She made many threats etc. When she finally showed up at the hospital, I was so scared what she might say or do but instead she came in and did not say a word to us or her daughter as she held a tiny Grace Ann. She was way more bark than she was bite. You could feel loads of tension in the air but it was nothing like I expected from the calls. Praying that the grandparents respect the plans that were made for this tiny lite boy by his birthfamily.
  13. Congrats Scott, Jocelyn and big brother Landon! Prayers of peace and comfort to the first family.
  14. Ugghh! Sadly most people outside of the adoption world will think that is funny.
  15. Congrats!!!! I am so happy for everyone who loves this little girl!
  16. What a day to take placement. Congrats to this new family who come together because of their love of a new little one.
  17. Congratulations Kristy and Rob. These early days are so special, enjoy very moment.
  18. Congratulations Nathan and Grace! Enjoy these days as you get to know your daughter and her birth family.
  19. Congrats! Nothing like a November baby to give you something to be thankful for for years to come.
