  1. Congratulations Guy and Linda! How wonderful! We have been praying for you over these months and are so happy your dreams have finally come true. There is something especially sweet about being the last placement in your group. Joy! Joy! Joy!

    And what a great announcement.

    Prayers for comfort to baby Heath's first family.

  2. Yesterday I was pleasantly pleased when my pastor's sermon was on adoption and how the church as a body should support birthfamilies and adoptive families.

    Grace Ann and Jack were part of the special music, as someone sang the two of them sat on the stage quietly playing. After the song, a friend spoke a little about our journey as a family.

    Beautiful service if I do say so myself.

    How awesome! You must go to a great church!

  3. I feel like my Christian faith has helped me with open adoption, and my sincere hope is that Jesus would say, "Well done."

    Because of my faith and following the teachings of Christ...

    • I try to treat others the way I would want to be treated.
    • I try to consider another's needs more important than my own.
    • I can turn the other cheek if necessary (with God's help!).
    • I can weep with those who weep.
    • I'm learning to judge not, lest I be judged.
    • I believe that love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.

    As far as it being confusing for the child...that is simply not true. Children are very smart and perceptive. Joshua is almost 8 but he definitely gets it! He loves having more people in his life to love him!

    You are awesome!

  4. Wow, two placements!

    Congratulations Suzi and Ben. How wonderful for you-- but I am sorry to hear of the loss of your cousin's son. May God be with your whole family new and existing.

    Congratulations to today's new family, too!

    November is a great time to spend in Texas!
