So, when we met with our social worker yesterday she mentioned how many birthparents find adoptive families online - through personal websites or profiles. Our agency doesn't currently offer adoptive family profiles on their site. So... I decided to make our own! You can check it out and please feel free to share it - you never know just quite how God could use it to bring together our Jamaa. Happy surfing!

Waiting for "Jamaa!"
Welcome back! Unfortunately, in Blog-world, when there's no news there's no blog. Well... now there's news. It turns out Stan and I need much more help than what the doctors originally told us and, as we're not willing to do IVF or any more infertility "experiments," we've decided to create our Jamaa (our God-given family) through adoption. SO! What started out as an infertility blog, has now "grown-up" into an adoption journey blog. We hope you'll stick around and come with us on our journey to find our Jamaa - our God-given family. There'll be posts about where we are in the process, what we're experiencing, as well as posts about how to help us finance this incredibe journey (it's $15,000!). We're excited to share all the latest news with you right here! Hopefully, at the very end of the life of this blog, there'll be a sweet little picture of our hearts' deepest desire.
