monamarie 0 Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 Congratulations to Joshua Thomas who has created a big loving family. What with Laurel and Casey and big brother Zachary and his wonderful birthfamily, this little guy will never be short on love. My thoughts and heart go out to the special birthmother whom I was privileged to get to know and what a special woman she is. This special gal can make you laugh and cry all in the same conversation and with that much personality Joshua is sure to be a big hit. CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL INVOLVED!

levanah 0 Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 I just found out about Elizabeth's wishes after placement happens, and just loved what she wrote. How special and important her message is. Jeff and I are so blessed to have both Eli as our son, and Christie, Dustin, Michael, and their families in our lives. It was one of the most incredible experiences we've ever had to connect with Christie and her family in love. It is overwhelming how much everyone on the forum appreciates a new placement and their words of support and love. Thank you everyone!! Jeff and I are getting settled and just loving our days (and nights) with Eli. He is a super sweet baby and person. I hope everyone out there is doing well!! Your abrazo friends, Michelle, Jeff and Eli Link to post Share on other sites

Stork Central 1,114 Posted May 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 Every long lost dream lead me to where you are Others who broke my heart they were like northern stars Pointing me on my way into your loving arms This much I know is true That God blessed the broken road That led me straight to you --Rascal Flatts So often in this journey we call life, it's not our planned route that gets us where we intend to go; rather, it's the unpaved detour that leads us to the most beautiful of destinations. And this is surely true of today's placement, in which a birthmom who left the agency she'd started out with, and an adoptive family who'd lost the match they began with, both overcame their fears and apprehensions to plot a bright new itinerary for a baby girl who is surely loved by all. This took much faith on the part of the adoptive family, who bravely shared their painful tale with at our 3x5 orientation weekend of January 2008; it also required much courage on the part of the birthmother, whose bad experience with her prior agency left her feeling rather doubtful of trusting again. But by the grace of God, the broken roads travelled by each have merged, and as a result, the precious newborn daughter they share has been forever gifted with a roadmap in which the addresses of all her family need never be lost to her. Glory be! Blessings, all! Link to post Share on other sites
