word from the wallaces: Your Adoption Story
http://wordfromthewallaces.blogspot.com/p/adoption-resources.html
Starting the adoption process is overwhelming! Here are my two cents on getting started. Read Dr. Moore's book Adopting for Life. An amazing ministry that will help you determine what type of adoption is right for you, what countries you qualify for, etc. And it's all FREE. Have coffee with as many adoptive moms that you can find and ask them about their experience. Ask them to share with you the good, the bad and the ugly. If you are in Louisville attend an Orphan Care Alliance. Theology of orphan care.

Jesus was adopted by Joseph in the truest sense of the word. It seems that Mary must have allowed others to participate in supervising her son since it took her quite a while to realize that Jesus wasn't with any of their trusted group when traveling. Jesus had half brothers and half sisters before it was commonplace. Mary knew Jesus' frien...

The Ethiopian Side of Our Family. The Ethiopian Side of Our Family. This is the "Cliff's Notes" version of our adoption story. To read all 123 posts covering our adoption journey, click HERE. We always discussed international adoption as an option for adding to our family, but always thought about it as this far off distant thing that hopefully one day we would be blessed enough to experience. The second church we visited was Highview Baptist Church. And a huge heart for orphans. It seems that was God...

The Jones Family: August 2011
http://leslie-joneslife.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 29, 2011. I had been checking every month with my agency to find out how much weight Silas had gained. As of late June, I knew he had gained almost 9 full pounds.doubling his body weight. I knew this was amazing, but it was nothing compared to seeing Silas' amazing transformation in his latest pictures from this month. I am proud to say this boy has some fat rolls now! I just can't wait to hold these babies in October! And I can't wait to be able to show their sweet faces! Like I said befo...

The Philpot Family: Domestic Adoption
http://thephilpotfamily.blogspot.com/2013/01/domestic-adoption.html
I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart; I will recount all of Your wonderful deeds. I will be glad and exult in You; I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High. Psalm 9:1-2. January 6, 2013. The Lord has been at work in my heart. He is so good. We have such cushioned, comfortable lives in comparison. And there's nothing that we have done to deserve it. One of the things God has taught me through this is humility. Who am I to think that I choose how God will grow our family? If he called us ...
