Placing a Child for Adoption

A friend of mine posted a link to this video on facebook today.

Of course I had to watch it, since it's about adoption!

It's fantastic!

I love being able to hear a birth mother's perspective on things.

How bitter sweet her experience has been.

Then I found Tamra's blog.

(she's the one in the video, in case you didn't catch that)

So beautiful!

I read just three posts:

"talk i wrote for church", "my keynote address for the Central Region Families Supporting Adoption Conference in Denver", and "THIS JUST IN"

So beautiful and amazing!

I am so glad that she is sharing her experience with everyone!

She is shining a light on adoption and helping it become less of a mysterious, scary thing!

I hope that with our journey, being the adoptive parents, that I can share things that will help others understand adoption and be more open to it as well!

What I do know so far is that it is a beautiful thing that strengthens everyone involved!

And that lots of HARD WORK, PRAYERS, FASTING, SACRIFICES, TEARS, and HUMILITY are involved.

Leaving behind BLESSINGS, JOY, LOVE, COMPASSION, PEACE, and FAMILY.
