This is a raw, honest look at our experience with open domestic adoption. Ours is a story of faith and healing as my greatest heart cry was answered.
I am working full time as I finish up my MBA. I hope to teach at the college level and write professionally in years to come. My blog is strictly an avenue for me to pound out my heart.
I started blogging the day we turned in our initial adoption application. I wanted to chronicle our story for our one day son/daughter. I wanted him/her to know just how much my heart cried for him/her.
I started blogging in April of 2008.
I have approximately 500-700 visitors each day.
I do not make income from my blog. I’m not sure what measures success. I think my readers follow because of the honesty I try to portray. I’ve been wide-open with our adoption experience.
I like to think anyone looking to be encouraged would like to read our story. One of my life mantras comes from Winston Churchill – “Never never never give up.”
Hope always exists no matter how slight.
I only write one to two blogs per week, I do, however, spend time each day answering readers’ email.
I hope that people will read our story and feel inspired. I hope that they will look at life and love differently. I hope that we’ll spur people on to make a difference in the lives of thousands of children, all over the world, that need love. Whether that be through adoption, foster care or sponsorship.
Be real. Be driven by love, not money.
