Our 1st adoption was finalized when our daughter was 2. We got her as a 3-month-old. Her's was also a voluntary placement. Now we are coming up on the 2-year mark with this little boy and have yet to set a date. The process seems SO long. And like u mentioned in your lastest blog post - so many road blocks & uncertaintites!!! But we will pray for the Lord to shower you with patience & perseverance!!!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03879756858073317165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2741018068870574199.post-68451943718375779022016-03-17T15:01:04.896-05:002016-03-17T15:01:04.896-05:00Thank you so much for reaching out!

We are currently in the waiting for a match domestically adopting. But as we wait our hearts have grown to think we may move towards foster care in the future. It isn't for everyone , but it something we highly support as my husband was once a foster child, later adopted. Our family is very diverse and we still have foster children as nieces and nephews .We long to see the gap bridged and many help make the change to do just that. Going into the process with a heart and open mind. Its not an easy calling, but it's worth it. One day that little boy will be a father and right now he needs all the love , support and care for him and his bio family to be all he is destined to be. Keep doing what you do, without people like you I wouldn't be married to the man I am with three beautiful babies, and waiting to meet my fourth. What you provide will change generations and for that I am truly greatful. <br />xoxo,<br />MytruenorthAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14833066468327271089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2741018068870574199.post-85239502635501280242016-03-15T22:39:03.084-05:002016-03-15T22:39:03.084-05:00I love your heart and transparency, guided in wisd...I love your heart and transparency, guided in wisdom and truth.

I could never do what you are doing, because I don't think I could let go if and when the biological parents were ready to reclaim him, but I know that having someone to love a child while the parents are trying to get it together is so important. I'm just babbling, because I have so many feelings about this, and they're all good. Life is hard. Sometimes we have to work extra hard to get through those stumbling blocks.
