Dahl's: Waiting...

Waiting...

Sorry for the excessive posts today. I am trying to keep myself distracted. There are few things more exciting, scary, and emotional then waiting to find out if you have been chosen by a birth family to love and parent their child. I can not imagine what they go through as they agonize over their choice to place and then who to place with. Pray for them!

Favorite Adoption Quotes

A Birthmother puts the needs of her child above the wants of her heart.
When you honor the birth family, you honor the child.
By choice, we have become a family, first in our hearts, and finally in breath and being.
We look at adoption as a very sacred exchange. It was not done lightly on either side. I would dedicate my life to this child.
Time and experience have taught me a priceless lesson, any child you take for your own becomes your own if you give of yourself to that child.
If a child is born and raised in family that is loving and nurturing, where there is complete truth about who we are, you can't give a child any greater place from which to fly.
