Hey Friends,
Adam here. We came home today to find a special delivery in
our mailbox. It was our family profile books! If we haven’t explained this
already, these books are going to be distributed to potential birth parents.
The purpose of the book is to briefly describe who we are and why we want to
adopt so that potential birth families can decide to have us adopt their child.
It also describes our families, friends, how we met, our traditions, and our
church. It is the first impression a birth family will have of us (no
pressure). Lauren and I hustled to get this book done a couple weeks ago. With
some help from our sister-in-law Kendra, who did some photography for us, we
got it done! If you have seen our timeline on the blog, this was a big next
step for us in the adoption process. We’ll be giving these books to our agency
as soon as possible. Completing this project with Lauren reminded me of how
incredibly blessed we are to have such great families and friends. God has
richly blessed us. Trying to describe you all to potential birth families in a
few short paragraphs in this book was tough. We hope the words and photos we
chose do justice to the great support network we have and the life we want to
provide for our kids. Pray with us for the families that will be viewing this book.
As Lauren described previously, adoption is always accompanied by brokenness.
The families reading our book will be in a hard place. I’ll leave you with a
verse we ended our book with out of Numbers 6:24-26:
“May the LORD bless you and protect you.
May the LORD smile on you and be gracious to you.
May the LORD show you his favor and give you his peace.”
Be Blessed,
Adam & Lauren
