Meet the Adoptive Mom

Hi, I am C, the mother to two beautiful biological children and the adoptive mom to a beautiful baby girl. Each of our children are unique blessings from God, and we are thankful for the way each one has impacted our lives. Having the experience of conceiving and birthing our biological children was a wonderful blessing, but adoption has also been just as amazing and wonderful. We have learned and grown as people through each path of adding to our family. We love the blended family that God has created!

Adoption was something that God engraved into my heart as a very young child. I cannot actually recall a time when it wasn't a desire of mine. As a young girl, my dreams of the future included both biological and adoptive children. The truth is that I knew I could love any child the Lord placed in my life.

To me, adoption is a beautiful picture of what God does for us. He adopts us as His sons and daughters when we place our faith in His son. He gave His only Son so that we could become His children. Adoption has taught me more about what this means than anything else in life. It is my greatest joy to be able to offer love freely and openly not only to our daughter, but to her mother and extended family. Our entire family has been transformed and changed by adoption in ways that nothing else could have. Our children have grown in compassion and unconditional love. They have embraced adoption and adore their newly added family members. If I wasn't living in the middle of this story, I would not believe it for myself. God is good and when He leads, it is not always an easy road, but it is one filled with great joy and blessings beyond our asking.

I am thrilled to share this story with you. My deepest desire is to see more adoption stories like ours. The relationships we have built are priceless and have exceeded our expectations. We hope to touch others with our story and shed light on the beauty of open adoption.
