Stork Central 1,110 Posted July 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 "To everything - turn, turn, turnThere is a season - turn, turn, turnAnd a time to every purpose under heaven..." WORDS FROM THE BOOK OF ECCLESIASTES, GEORGE ABER ADAPTATION AND, PETE SEEGER In June 2011, a brilliant East Coast couple returned to Abrazo for a second orientation weekend (and becoming the inspiration for the "Believe Us, We're Normal!" group name.) Having two fine sons already, their lives were full already, but they came back in hopes of meeting the needs of a loving birthmother who felt she needed to make a second adoption plan. Plans changed, however. So they opted to make themselves available to other expectant mothers in need of a great family, and plans change again. And then again, and this was the beginning of a wild ride that may have dissuaded a lesser couple, had they known in advance all the twists and turns their journey would take. After awhile, like any sane folks, these faithful againers grappled with decisions about whether to continue the adoption quest or let that dream go? They put their file on hold and loved on their boys and focused on their careers but (as we say in Texas) they "got back up on that horse" and though the ride was rough at times, through it all, they never gave up. And what a blessing that fortitude has proven to be, for this spring, a beautiful young mother came to Abrazo for help. She'd endured a disappointing adoption experience elsewhere, and was needing to make (yes...) a second adoption plan, but this time, with people who could be trusted to keep their promises. It was, truly, a match made in Heaven. They all joined us for Camp last month, and they're together again this week, to celebrate their new baby girl and the beginning of their new, improved lives as a "forever family." We wish them every joy, and we thank each of them for having trusted in this purpose and having waited for this season. Blessings, all! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
