Our Baby Is Growing In Our Heart
Donation protected
As we embark on our adoption journey, there are some things I want to let you know. There are a few things I want to share and help you understand what is included in the process of our family building.
Just like someone who is carrying their own child, we are very excited, as well as a little scared and apprehensive. We do not have complete control over this journey, and it is difficult not knowing when it will end with a child.
During this journey we have TONS of paperwork, along with the Home Study and Family Profile.
I have listened to many women complain about swollen feet, weight gain and morning sickness. Right now I would do anything to be experiencing those symptoms. After infertility of my own and the loss of our unborn baby it does not make this any easier. I would much rather know I am carrying my child then filling out another paper, coordinating another fundraiser and not knowing what the future holds. Deep down I wish I knew why God has this plan for us. Although I believe in adoption and know there are many children in need of loving homes it doesn’t seem fair and I will never understand why!
Adoption costs between $30,000-$45,000. We are currently doing a puzzle fundraiser. The puzzle pieces are $10.00 per piece. For every $10.00 you donate, we will place your name on the back of the piece. We will one day be able to share with our baby all the wonderful people who helped bring him/her home.
Thank you to everyone for your prayers and words of encouragement. This difficult process will one day be in the past, when we are able to hold our Baby.
