How Adoption Has Affected Us
Our lives have been truly blessed by the miracle of adoption. We have been chosen to be the parents of our beautiful, precious 1 ˝ year old daughter, Finley. We can't imagine it any other way. We know that God had designed for us to be her parents. It is amazing to us that someone would give us such a gift! We will never take for granted this miracle. We are honored and grateful to the
selflessness of Finley's birthparents. Their decision has allowed us to be a family with this adorable, much loved, and cherished child. She has changed our world. We gratefully continue to update Finley's birthparents with photographs and letters, so they know how loved she is and how their decision has created our family.
Adoption has also affected our lives in another way. Suzanne is a birthmother, who placed her first child for adoption, as a young teenager. Unable to care for her child or provide the life she wanted for her child, she chose to place her child with a family that could. This was the hardest thing she had to do, but the love for her child helped her make this sacrificing, selfless decision. She knows the circumstances and the love that goes into your decision. She has been where you are and knows your difficulty and pain. She has a compassionate and understanding for you, your child and your decision like no other. We have been blessed to experience all the aspects of the gift of adoption.
What We’ll Tell Your Child About Their Adoption
We want your child to know how loved they are, both by us and you, their birthparents. And from your love, we were made a family. We want them to know because of your love and
selflessness, you made this painful decision. We want them to know that though not born from us, they were born in our hearts. We want them to know how special and wanted they are. We cannot wait for their arrival. We want them to know how God chose to make us a family in this special way.
We will always be open, honest and positive in sharing about their adoption. We will tell them about how thankful we are for this wonderful gift you have given us. We will be age appropriate in sharing their story of how we became a family and how excited we were in waiting for them. Just like with our daughter Finley, at a young age we will share their special story of how God brought us together. Our daughter Faith understands the miracle of adoption. She knows her sister Finley grew in another mommy's tummy because her mommy's tummy is broke. She knows that she (her birthmother) lets Finley be her sister because she loved Finley so much.
Our Children, Faith and Finley
Having Fun Outside
Faith is our 5 year old daughter. She is so full of life and enjoys every minute. She is happy, outgoing, loving and caring. When we told her we wanted to adopt another baby, she responded, "Yeah! Now Finley gets to be a big sister" as she danced around hugging Finley. She is so caring and compassionate. She loves being a big, helpful sister. She enjoys playing princesses, coloring, reading, dancing, and singing. She is fearless with no rollercoaster or adventures too big and no bugs too gross. She is a lot of fun and makes everything a good time.
Finley is our 1 ˝ year old daughter. She will steal your heart. She is happy and playful. She has the biggest most beautiful smile and the funniest belly laugh. She is sweet and such a snuggle bug. She loves to give and get hugs and kisses. She enjoys music, reading books, dancing and following her big sister. She loves to be outside all day, whether riding in her bike seat or stroller, or running through the grass. They both like to play with our kitten "Princess".
Our children came into our lives in special ways and both have changed our lives
forever. Both are our daughters and our love for them is not different. They are excited about a new baby sister or brother. Faith is telling everyone about
getting a new baby, even the sales clerk at the food store. Finley is learning to say baby and pushing her baby carriage around the house.
