Hoping to Adopt
I think it is safe to say these are words that every birth mother has read and every hoping adoptive couple has written. Today it touched my heart, those exact words I've seen almost enough times to be burned into my eyes permanently. Let me trace for you the quick process of this emotion.. Cleaned room, logged on Facebook, read one of my birth-mom-friend's posts and clicked on her birth daughter's parent's blog. [Following? ha ha]
Sometimes as birth moms we tend to focus solely on our own pain... I'm guilty of it definitely, and in doing so we often forget what an emotional roller coaster, ordeal, and challenge even CHOOSING to adopt is for a couple. To have to be deemed "Perfect parents" through a series of home studies, paperwork, and reference checks just to be able to start the waiting process is more stress than I think I could handle. I give them credit where I believe it is due by far.
Sometimes when I think about how many wonderful couples (who deserve to be parents) are just eagerly waiting... I wish that I could have a baby just for them. That would equal at least 10 babies off the top of my head, but as much as I'd want to we all know that's not really all that possible.
So what I can do is promote.
As you know, always MY family is hoping to adopt; THE R FAMILY.
but today; I'd like to feature another couple.. here is a link to their page. READ ALL ABOUT THEM & spread the word this Holiday Season.
