Something that upsets me is when people say, "why would you want to adopt when you already have two kids of your own?" Also, "well it's not fair to give you a child because you already have your own". Out of all of my titles, mom, is the one that gives me the most pride. This article describes perfectly how I feel about having biological children, and the opportunity to have an adoptive child.
https://creatingafamily.org/adoption-category/adoption-child/ -Angela Hello everyone!
So much has changed since we began this journey two years ago! We actually found out we were pregnant with our daughter not long after we decided we wanted to adopt. We hear this is a commonality! Now that she is a year and a half old, our hearts have become heavy with the previous desire to adopt. So after much prayer, we have decided to make it publicly known - we are ready to welcome a child into our home! We have a long journey ahead of us, but anyone who knows us knows that this child will be loved unconditionally and spoiled rotten! We realize someone deciding to place a child for adoption is not an easy task, and oftentimes something they want to keep private. We respect these wishes. Please keep us in mind if you know of an infant/toddler in need of a loving family. I will do my best to try and keep this updated more often as we begin this process! Angela Have you ever met an OCD planner? Well that’s me! I plan everything, down to my backup plan for my backup plan. I drive my family and friends nuts. Unfortunately, I have passed on this ultimately desirable trait to our 5 year old son. But never did I plan for what my life had in store for me. We did everything right; right by the books.
We were the typical love story. Boy meets girl in college, falls in love, gets married, and then have a baby. Life was great. We finished our degrees, got good jobs, and had a healthy and happy kid. Life was so great we realized we needed someone else to share our happiness with. Unfortunately, we realized we cannot accomplish this journey on our own. I planned out every way possible I could make this happen, but creation is out of our control. God has different plans for us. He stopped me dead in my tracks amongst all my planning and gave me my answer, my direction, and threw all my plans out the window. Our call in life is to adopt. So we begin our search for our baby-to-be. We have created this page in efforts to reach out to all those who are willing to assist. Please contact us if you have any information/leads to help us along this journey to parenthood. Thanks for stopping by! Angela |
