A huge weight was lifted off me as I attached our adoption profile to an email and sent it off to be printed. Then, I emailed everything for our web listing to LSS. I honestly felt giddy and started to well up with tears of joy. Soon we will have a chance at being picked to parent once again. What a blessing! I KNOW it will be a hard road. I KNOW we have a lot to learn, and will continually be learning. But, I also KNOW that we have lots and lots of unconditional love to give a child and we can't wait to share it. I'm thrilled that we have this opportunity and that Jamie and I are on the same page and both knew our family wasn't complete yet. I'm thrilled that we have so many people supporting us. Any negativity we hear about our desire to adopt doesn't come from our core group.
Many people proofed our profile, it was great to get the input of our friends, family and expert proofers! So many great points and ideas were brought up which helped to make our profile better. The thing I really love about it is that it's so US. The real deal.
Many uplifting things happened this week that encourage our hope and I'll share those later. It seemed like every time I turned around I was encouraged by a hope filled story or a "sign". Love that!
Heather - I love seeing your spirit and excitement each time you take another step in your journey. While I know that there are plenty of tough moments along the way, I feel honored to be able to read and share in something so wonderful. My prayers continue with you and your family as your profile is now published. I can't wait to hear that you've been chosen, any child would be lucky to be a part of your family!
