When I was in college, I had a dream. Before Dale met me, he had a dream. When we started dating, we realized we had been having the same dream. Adoption. Not just any adoption, international adoption. We have had it on our hearts to adopt a sibling set from Ethiopia, Africa as long as we have been together. Our first step in that journey is to love that country [ Read More ]

On Sunday at church, a couple shared their story, and I can’t stop thinking about it. The wife was born into this world by a teen mom who didn’t want her from the beginning, the doctor who delivered her decided to take her home and made her a part of his family. He is Chinese and she is caucasian. She grew up in a culture that she fell in love [ Read More ]
This morning at church I got to witness the love a parent has for a baby that only exists in their heart until the moment that Mom and Dad have the privilege of holding their son in their arms for the first time. 12 days ago a massively devastating earthquake hit the country of Haiti and destroyed the entire city of Port-Au-Prince, leaving millions homeless, orphaned, devastated and scared.

Brian and Amy are fellow bloggers and Compassion advocates. They now have 6 beautiful children. Welcome home Yeneneh and Sosy and all the other Seay kids!
Scenario…you're single…you want to have children…you seek surrogacy…you raise the children, love them and take care of them by yourself. I say way to go! Children need to be loved. Although, you could go and adopt and love some children who are unloved and in need, it's admirable that you would love and raise children in the first place. Especially by yourself. Ricky MArtin is getting flack for wanting, getting, [ Read More ]
I just read Heather's blog about her adoption experience bringing Losiah home into their family and am taking her challenge at the bottom of the post to write our own. Although we haven't adopted yet, we plan to. Dale and I both had the same desire to adopt into our families even before we met, so it is such a blessing and reassurance that we are doing the right thing [ Read More ]
I have been reading blogs for almost a year now and non have been more inspiring than this one. This mom of 6 just brought home her youngest 2 babies from Sierra Leone, Africa almost 2 weeks ago. Her authenticity shows how challenging it is to adopt and how exhausting it is to be a mother and yet how rewarding and wonderful it is too. She has been authentic and [ Read More ]
