Stork Central 1,114 Posted March 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 "The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other's life." -- Richard Bach To two very special children: Today, the parents who brought you into the world made the toughest decision any parent could. It was one they'd been considering with great courage, because they love you both so very much, they couldn't bear to go one more day feeling like you didn't have everything you needed in life. They'd already tried everything they could to provide for you, but no matter how hard they worked, they couldn't give you the security you needed and the advantages they wanted for you. There wasn't anything you could ever have done to change the challenges they faced. And if there were any other choice, they would have loved to have you stay and grow up with them. Because you both have forever been very wanted and very loved. (Always know that!) Yet your first parents wanted you to have a mom and dad who have a safe home of their own, who have a car and good jobs and plenty of food, and who don't have to worry every day about the next. So hard as it was for them, they chose a wonderful mommy and daddy for you, from Abrazo's TIKLV orientation group of 11/10. Your new parents already love you, and they love and respect your first parents dearly. And they understand how much you need to be able to continue loving them, too. So it's okay for you to love all of them, don't ever worry about that. They're a team, your first parents and your new parents. And together, they are going to see to it that you both have everything you need in life. That's what being a family is all about, after all. We wish you and all your parents every joy in your new lives together... and we send along plenty of heartfelt prayers for everyone, too, just for good measure! Link to post Share on other sites
Steven&Melissa 979 Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Such a beautiful announcement for two amazingly beautiful and tremendously loved children. May their first parents and newly adoptive parents continue to work as a team to shower these two children with all of the love they deserve, always knowing what a careful and emotional choice brought these two families together! Prayers especially for Victor and Yuli's loving birth parents during these incredibly difficult days... but prayers as well for this newly-formed family that rays of excitement peek through as they form new memories.

These two children are very loved by everyone here. We have been staying prayerful, asking God for hope and discernment for their first parents, as they've walked this road with their young Blessings... to their new family, even under the most difficult of circumstances. Sleep well tonight! God is with you all, as well as more love than you'll ever know. Karen 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Stork Central 1,114 Posted May 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 Motherhood, when coveted, is a multiple-faceted blessing treasured by all who know the longing to parent…but perhaps it is never more appreciated than by those women who became mothers only by the grace of God and the sacrifice of another. Today, we send out extra-special Mother's Day wishes to a very special birthmom and birthgrandmama, and to a much-loved family from our DropSwapChop orientation group of July 2010. This weekend, they proved their willingness to go the extra mile on behalf of their newly-born son, as his birthmother endured agonizing deliberations to be sure she was making the right choice for him. None of this was "easy" for any of them, nor should it have been; a life-changing transition has taken place which forever impacts them all. May this precious child always know this transition occurred amidst great courage, forethought, and unselfishness on the part of everyone involved... Link to post Share on other sites
