We love adoption

Adoption may be born from less-than-perfect circumstances, but that's what is so awesome about our God - He makes all things new. 


What an amazing opportunity.. to bring good - to bring life - from suffering, from heartache, from difficulty.


Of course it's not easy. It's probably often the hardest thing a mother will ever do. But, when it's chosen instead of abortion, it's also the most courageous thing she'll ever do.


I pray adoption will become a more viable option for mothers in crisis pregnancies.


That the tides turn and that ending the life in her womb will become the unthinkable, the option that she won't even consider.


I pray the only choice she'll make is whether to find a loving home for her child or raise him herself.


We definitely love adoption in our house. How could we not?


God bless all those who have chosen adoption. You are my heroes.

  4. Thanks for this post! My husband and I have turned to adoption after not being able to conceive, and I can honestly say that I'm excited and just as thrilled as if we were actually pregnant.

    By the way, I've been following your blog since before you had Clara and it's still one of my favorites of all the adoption/infertility blogs that I read. Your sense of humor is fantastic. :D And your conservatism just makes me like you all the more! ;)

  6. Your post gave me goosebumps. My husband's cousin and his wife adopted a little boy ten years ago who is just 5 days younger than our oldest daughter. I have always been so touched by how generous and courageous that 19 year old woman was to choose life for her son so that he could be the much cherished and long awaited child of our cousins.
