I thank God everyday for our son and now realize what a precious miracle he is (something I didn't recognize when I easily got pregnant with him). We are still praying, waiting and HOPEing to see how God will expand our family ... but adoption is always close to my mind and heart these days. I can't wait to order one of these and help out another couple whose hearts are longing like ours are.<br /><br />Thank you Erin!

It's absolutely wonderful! My husband and I have a nine year son, that we adopted a little over two years ago! We have been through years and years of fertility and through this felt God tugging on our hearts to adopt again. We have started the process to adopt a baby this time and are excited for the journey He takes us on. This is such a sweet idea and a wonderful reminder for us as adoptive parents, but also to others of the hope that God can bring through adoption!

I don't know why but I've always had a whole in my heart even after the birth of my three amazing little boys. <br /><br />My husband and I have talked about adopting a little girl. We have a few reasons - one of the main is because our oldest will never be able to have children. I want him to know that just because a child does not share your DNA does not make that child less then yours. <br /><br />For right now I'm settling with sponsoring a beautiful little girl named Soun Phalla through a organization that I have been involved with since 1999 when I went on a mission trip to China/Tibet with them!Alaina Frederick of Dinker and Giggleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01058666741752866789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8907662145510836575.post-39213956835456152702010-08-10T13:38:13.016-05:002010-08-10T13:38:13.016-05:00Oh ERIN!

We are so blessed to have Leila in our lives and I can't imagine a life without her in it. We just prayed and prayed. I asked God to lead us in whichever direction we are supposed to go. We started in Gutamala, which quickly shut down. Got to the top of the waiting list for Vietnam, and it shut down. Right then, our agency joined with another which had 3 girls waiting in Kyrgyzstan. I saw the picture of our Leila and those eyes told me it was her. Two WEEKS later, we were on the plane to meet her. God will lead you, just follow, no matter how crazy and upsetting the road gets, there is a plan for you! <br />Best of luck!<br />KelliKelli-Riehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14541731417144510363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8907662145510836575.post-84696541283544089902010-08-10T13:00:48.833-05:002010-08-10T13:00:48.833-05:00ahhh! i LOVE this necklace!!!

It wasn't easy to start with an older child, but I truly believe my family did a good thing. I've always thought if I can't have kids of my own eventually, I'd love to adopt. :)Shortyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05165780792108690108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8907662145510836575.post-70363252384202742122010-08-10T01:49:22.863-05:002010-08-10T01:49:22.863-05:00Almost as beautiful as your heart!Almost as beautiful as your heart!Kristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00205301552698470066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8907662145510836575.post-2017629364167487592010-08-10T00:05:39.748-05:002010-08-10T00:05:39.748-05:00LOVELY!
