Thank you so much for taking the time to check out our new adoption blog. We’ve created this blog for a few reasons. First, it gives us a chance to express ourselves more fully than we possibly could have done in our 1000 word adoption letter. We hope to give everyone who reads this blog a deeper sense of who we are, why we want to adopt a child, and the vision we have for our child once we are blessed with a little boy or girl through open adoption.
Next, this blog is a good place to be current. While our letter went a long way to illustrate who we are, many things have happened to us since we created it in April 2011. Our Facebook page helps keep everyone up to date and we love sharing quick updates, fun stuff, and new photos. However, we often want to say more than Facebook allows, and a blog is ideal for longer thoughts.
Also, part of our journey has been to learn as much as we can about adoption. We’ve found that blogs are a good way for us to connect to the larger adoption community that we share with other waiting families, adoptive parents, birthparents, and adoption professionals. This connection is helpful for us now while we are waiting and continuing to learn, and undoubtedly will be invaluable to our future child as he or she develops and matures.
We appreciate everyone who is supporting us through this process. Thank you so much for your kindness, consideration, and good wishes. We couldn’t do this without you!
What a beautiful first post! As a grandparent of the child you (hope to) adopt, I wholeheartedly support your new blog as a chance for birthparents to get to know you a little better. You would both be such warm, loving parents!
