We are not your typical adoptive couple with a long drawn out sob story of how we are so destitute to have a child and how much we need you to choose us. We are not Baby Hoarders who just want to grab up all the adoptable kids of the world like all the Hollywood stars out there either. We are not here to convince anyone that we are perfect in every way and put on a front for you.
We are ,however, depending upon an amazing person to recognize what her heart is telling her. If we are the Right fit for your baby, then so be it. We are putting our Trust In God and having Faith that each one of our miracles will come into our family the way He intended them to. Thats just what we know, deep in our hearts and we will treasure each child as our own.
Whatever baby comes into our home will be surrounded with love and kisses and MANY cousins and 2nd cousins and grandmas and grandpas! In my side of the family there are 6 adopted GRANKIDS( Brielle being 1 of them) under my Grandma. And 2 adopted Fathers (Brandon being one of those) and 2 of my cousins have actually placed babies for adoption themselves. We do not believe that inter-family adoptions work out very well. Usually, someone ends up hurt or the pain is dragged on come reunion time each year. I am so inspired by my 2 cousins and 3 of my friends who placed babies when they were younger as well.
My girls have LOTS of friends who are adopted as well. 4 of which we see on a weekly basis! Brielle is proud that she is adopted and knows who her tummy mommy is and loves her very much. As we move, i know the separation will be somewhat difficult but, also necessary. Now that Brielle is 4, it's time to let her decide when she wants to see her birthmom. We absolutely love Brielle's Biological family so very much as well! They are our angels and friends! We are so lucky!
Here's a song I wrote before we adopted Brielle, mixed in with some of my photography.
It's entitled: My Heart Aches for You!
My Heart Aches for You
Little Child
I wonder when I’ll see you
With your tender, tiny smile
I’ve prayed and fasted
For compassion from someone
That they might know my need
For a daughter or a son.
I know God’s listening
And He can hear my plea
To have a baby for our own
And join our family.
My heart cries out to you
Father above
I wonder when you’ll answer
So we can heal with love
I’ve prayed each sleepless night
To hold a baby oh, so near
I hope that one so great
Can relieve all of my fear
I know God’s listening
And He can hear our plea
To have a baby for our own
And join our Forever family!
My heart breaks for you
Who’ll place your baby with me
I’ll look into your eyes
And I’ll begin to see
How God felt, as He
Gave up His only Son
To suffer for our sins
And to redeem everyone
I know now from listening
And from my trials too
That Our Father loves us all
