Let the Blogging Begin!

I'm not a blogger and I'm definitely not a writer, but I am a mom with a mission.


We've endured a long and painful journey through infertility (both primary & secondary). While we are beyond thankful for our beautiful daughter, our desire to have another child has never wavered - not once. We've moved on to adoption knowing that, without a doubt, there is a baby out there who needs us. We have faith in God's plan that the right child will be led to our family. We're both thrilled and excited to have started this new adoption journey and are ready to love and laugh with a new little person.


I love projects, especially those with milestones, so the first part of the this process has been a piece of cake. Our home study is complete, books read, classes taken, bio written, and pictures cropped and glued on all the profile copies. Now comes the hard part, we wait...We wait until chosen by a birth mother.


Okay, I can wait - just don't expect me to do so quietly.

Today most adoptions are independent adoptions in which babies are found by adoptive parents through word-of-mouth or other networking and the legal arrangements are handled by private attorneys or agencies. Additionally, birth parents are doing their own searching.

How can you help? You may not think you know anyone who is considering planning an adoption, but chances are that you may know someone who knows someone. So here I am, a non-blogging, non-writing mom who has set out to spread the word across the blogosphere that my amazing, loving family has room for one more. You can help by spreading the word.

We are working with a great agency called Adoption Associates , Inc. Although they are located in Michigan, AAI is able to work with birth parents in every state and they will provide or arrange for an agency to provide counseling for the birth parents, wherever they are. Birth parents can contact us directly by emailing us at: BrianandStacey.adopting@gmail.com or they can call Adoption Associates at 1-800-677-2367. Birth parents should be sure they identify right away that they are calling to make contact with "Brian & Stacey".
