Stork Central Posted May 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 The days drift by, they don't have names And none of the streets here look the same But there aren't many reasons I would leave Yes, I have found me some peace Yes, I have found me a home. And you can have the rest of everything I own 'Cause I have found me a home.--Jimmy Buffett Today, in an act of love and sacrifice and courage, two Texas families joined their hearts and their lives forever, in order to provide a more secure future for two three-year-olds, a brother and sister who are dearly loved by all their birthrelatives. It isn't a simple plan. It won't be an easy adjustment for any of them. But in life as we know it, usually that which takes the most effort holds the deepest meaning, and there can be no higher calling than this: to give children in need a safe place to call home and a loving family to protect them, through all of life's travails. Heartfelt congratulations to this family from Holy Flying Fish! (9/06), to the birthparents and their families, and to these four new siblings! May your lives together truly be a walk on the beach, and may you weather the tides of change with both faith and fortitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stork Central Posted May 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 Granted, there may be some who doubt in the power of prayer. But for those in Forumland who do believe and who have been sending up prayers for a certain H3 (Happy Holiday Hopefuls, 12/06) couple over these past few days, that particular couple would like to thank you with a big 'ole hug... except their arms are full of baby boy, right now! One week ago, they were still grappling with the question of whether to throw in the towel on a match with a birthmother who seemed to elude all their efforts at contact. Two days ago, they were suddenly summoned to a local hospital to join her for the birth, only to be confronted by contentious birthrelatives determined to disrupt her loving plan for her child. One day ago, those birthrelatives showed up at Abrazo to launch their protest, while the "missing birthfather" was found at the hospital, of all places! Yet today, buoyed by the power of your prayers, all the pieces came together at once, the heavens moved, the birthparents completed relinquishment together, and one previously childless couple became parents, for the first time! Blessings upon this tiny guy, and all who love him. And all the people said... Amen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
