carissaabc Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 (edited) I think the Midwest Meet-up group will always feel a special bond to baby Grant. Congratulations, Jen and Haukur! It was great to finally meet you in person, if only long enough for you to drop off the bratwursts for the potluck and head back down south on VERY important business! (they were delicious brats, by the way...) Edited June 24, 2013 by carissaabc 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stork Central Posted June 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 "Because of a great love, one is courageous." -- Lao Tzu When they first started the adoption process with Abrazo last winter, they may have felt more hopeful than courageous, but these two graduates of our U-Haul Soy Stabbers (12/12) orientation weekend could not possibly have guessed all the tests of faith that lay ahead. They just knew that they wanted to be parents and they moved forward, bravely pursuing this particular dream of theirs. Involved for a couple of months in a match that did not result in placement, they could've allowed heartbreak to distract them from their quest, yet their great love for each other and for their future child led them onwards. Meanwhile, unbeknownst to them and far from their home, a courageous young mother wise beyond her years was harboring a secret pregnancy while contemplating a decision that would likewise require great love and enormous sacrifice. She could've allowed the influence of others to distract her from her quest, yet her great love for the child she was parenting and the one she carried led her onwards. She and her family united in their dream for her baby's future, and through a hospital social worker, she found Abrazo. She was much impressed with Abrazo's families, yet upon speaking with this one particular couple, she knew she wanted to be the one to help them become parents at last-- and in doing so, she changed the course of their lives forever. Today, they met for the first time, joining their hearts and their lives in a courageous circle of love around a tiny 4 lb. baby boy. May he grow big and strong, always knowing that this choice was made by them all with his very best interests at heart, and may he forever embody their shared love and their courage in all that he does. Blessings, all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
