Applying for adoption is not a
decision we take lightly and we know that you don’t consider this option casually
either. Our story is somewhat unique in
that after 4 years of dealing with infertility, we were blessed with a
beautiful biological son. However, trying
for a second baby led to another five years of infertility struggles and failed
treatments. So over time, we carefully
and prayerfully made the decision to apply for adoption. We believe that our loving Heavenly Father
has an individual plan for every person and every family. We don’t know what that plan includes for our
family, but feel good about applying for adoption. It is possible that both of our plans are
meant to be connected and we look forward to creating a warm and open
relationship with you if that is the case.
We want our child to always know that he/she was placed for adoption out of love and we would love to have an open adoption with you. We know the special connection you have with your child will last forever. And, we view open adoptions as just creating a bigger circle of people to love the child who was placed. Blogs and Facebook make it very easy to keep in touch now and we'd be happy with occasional phone calls and visits.
Of course, we would respect your wishes if you prefer a closed adoption. Our child would still know he/she was adopted and we would share as much information about you as you were comfortable with sharing.
