If you are considering giving up your child for adoption, first of all I have the utmost respect for making such an incredibly heart-wrenching decision and doing something so selfless. Second of all, I'm getting down on my knees and begging you to pick Kyle and I to raise your child!! We are a self-proclaimed cute couple who are really good with kids (see exhibit A below):
Exhibit A: Kyle and I with our nephew Connor
We are fun-loving, energetic and financially stable. We have parents who are dying to be grandparents and spoil the little one (ESPECIALLY mine since I'm an only child and the only chance for grandkids). We even have a cute tropical-Hawaiian themed nursery all ready prepared for the babies arrival - see exhibit B below.
Exhibit B: Baby-to-be's nursery:
But, you must pick us soon because one of is (ok, it's me) is getting really emotionally strained from hoping, wishing and praying to be a parent and is having fleeting thoughts of giving up her dream to be a mom!! Both of us had many, many years of mentally preparing to be parents (6 1/2 to be exact) and I think at this point, we may just be ready (yes, a little sarcasm there).
So, that's my plea in a nutshell. I'm really hoping you will find us soon!

I'm not a birthmom. I'm a mom of two adopted children and I wanted to tell you to hold on. Don't give up. Because you will never be able to give up the dream or desire to be a Mom.
It will happen. It just might not happen for awhile. Which is the sucky part.
I hope they find you SOON, too! Don't give up! You aren't alone, sweetie! ((HUGS))
Sorry you're going through a rough time right now. The emotional ups and downs during the waiting period are the WORST! A birth mother will select you two! I know it's frustrating. Try not to give up hope it will happen.
I know the desperation, I know the wait can be hard....it will seem like nothing when that baby is in your arms. Imagine, your baby may be growing in someone right now. Think about that andpray everyday for that baby and the safety and health of the bithmother. This will give you that vision and goal in your mind instead of focusing on your empty arms.
I'm sorry the wait is dragging on. Dont give up on your dream.
I like the nursery - cute idea!!
I hope it happens soon as well!
When we got the call that we were picked and that our son had been born 2 weeks earlier, we had nothing ready. As I thought back I realized that his birthmom was pregnant through so many of MY life altering events in the previous 9 months and I had no idea my son was going to arrive during any of it. I am hoping that you get that wonderful call soon, but even if it takes awhile, know that the child that becomes yours, was meant to be :)
You have inspired me to keep hoping :)
