  1. Determining God's will

    in Looking to Adopt

    Posted

    I came across this tonight and just loved your post Betsy. I hope it's okay, I kind of took a few things that really touched me and thought I would add the thoughts I had as I read your original post.

    .....Through the years I had kept praying for God's will in our lives, but at the same time I would question His will for us and wonder why it couldn't match ours.

    Isn't it cool though, how God's will for us does match our own will sometimes, just the path may different ;)

    ..... I had, we both had such a peace in our hearts about it all. I just can't really describe it in words. It just felt right...we began to see what He had in store for us.

    We relate to this as well. After some trying (understatement) times, literally one day everything became clear to us and we had such a peace about everything; the losses we experienced and whatever the future may hold.

    .........Only with God............His will would be done. :)Amen.

    There are not enough words to say what everyone is feeling right now.

    Jan

    Perfectly said, Jan. Deepest, heartfelt congratulations to a family brought together by love and a guiding hand. Blessings to each member of this union. We will be lifting you up in prayer and...looking forward to keeping up with your sweet angels, one and all! ;)

    ... as the prospective family for our currently-waiting "angels" sets off on their journey here, they are girded with the prayers of many, as are these small children and their nervous mother, who are in a local hotel awaiting their arrival.

    I hope it's okay to borrow this from another thread and post it here...because amidst so much joy and excitement for one family, there is surely sadness and anxiety for another. I pray that as two families become one, any fears are laid to rest by hope, trust and openess. Lifting up this loving Mother who cares so much for her angels and prayers also for the family who welcomes them all. I hope they feel the arms of the Father and his loving, comforting embrace.

    Welcome Julie! I bet you're not the first person to get weepy at the post office! I think I cried at the post office, Office Max while waiting on a fax for some adoption paperwork, Target registering for baby stuff, airports, hotels, you name it! :rolleyes: It's an emotional ride but so worth the trip! Best wishes as you two take the next step to becoming three...............

  18. Finding the Right Agency For You

    in Looking to Adopt

    I had such a good feeling today I had to share. I am a hopeful "againer". My son was not adopted through Abrazo but I am hoping to find my next baby with thier help! :) I have been trying to get my homestudy from my previous agency for some time now. It finally came in the mail yesturday!!! YEAH!!

    Then this morning I was watching "Adoption Stories" on the Discovery channel and Abrazo was featured!! What was even better was the family was "againers" also!! It was enough to start my day off right! We are now just waiting for Abrazo to accept applications for "againers" so we can send ours in! I can not wait to start our next adoption journey! :)

    We had our full application from Abrazo waiting to be filled out. What we were waiting for, I don't know. Then one night I had a dream that woke me up abruptly; I jumped out of bed and started filling out the app. I turned on the t.v. and guess what was on :P That very same episode of Adoption Stories! We had the app out in just a few days and and two months later our precious baby girl was in our arms! Best of luck!

    Wow Jennifer! See how inspiring you guys are :D

  19. When To Say When?

    in Looking to Adopt

    Posted

    I wasn't sure where to post this but the $28,000/month made me think 'when to say when' so in case in anyone is interested.....

    This Tuesday, 10/9/07, on Oprah:

    Lisa Ling Investigates: Wombs for Rent (PG)

    How far would you go to have a baby? Meet a woman halfway around the world who's

    pregnant with an American couple's baby. Then, why Martha Stewart's daughter spends

    almost $28,000 a month trying to make Martha a grandmother.

  22. Putting up a Praise!!!

    in Abrazo's Chapel Potluck

    Praise Him from Whom all blessings flow..............

    My Mom got her 3 month test results back and so far...cancer free! Hooray!

    John has been visiting with the chaplin at Walter Reed. The dr.'s are still trying to save the other leg but are preparing him in case they cannot. From what we know now, it is much worse off than we thought. John joined the service partly because he wanted to eventually be a U.S. Marshall and figured it was a good path to get him where he wanted to be. The loss of a leg or even the serious injuries he has endured, mean to him, the death of his dream. Yesterday, a U.S. Marshall came to his room. He told John that he could do book work until he started rehab. Then he could begin his marshall training while still at Walter Reed and that the job was his if he wanted it!

    John had been so worried about how he would provide for his wife and what would come next. I tear up every time I think of it. From tragedy comes grace. Praise God!
