Adoption

Dear Beautiful Woman Considering Adoption

As I am sure you know, sometimes life throws unexpected curves and unplanned challenges.

We know you are facing one of life’s unexpected challenges. Please do not give up hope.

For Matt and I, we both faced many challenges before we met.  One was the challenge of wondering:  will we ever find someone to share our life with?

Then we found one another, and were eager to start a family right away. And life through us another unexpected challenge. We did not give up hope when becoming parents did not come easily or quickly.

Matt and I believe that hope is so important.

We hope you pray about this decision and find peace in those prayers.

We hope you find people to talk to that really listen and show you all of your options.

We hope you dream of a happy future.

We hope you consider us when choosing a life for your child.

We are a very faithful Catholic couple. We truly believe God has a plan for us, for you and for your baby. We were blessed with a little boy through adoption, who will be a gentle and loving big brother. He loves making people laugh.

We know you are facing one of life’s unexpected challenges. Please do not give up hope. Please consider Matt and I when choosing parents for this child. The love and joy we have waiting in our hearts can not be expressed in words. It will shine through in huge smiles, lots of hugs and plenty of fun adventures and everyday blessings.

Our dream is to have children who make happy memories together through their childhood, and become the best of friends into adulthood and throughout their entire lives. We find joy in just making each other laugh every day. We plan trips to the beach every year. Being with other people is always on the calendar, and thankfully, we have a loving family and a large group of friends that allow us to always have something to look forward too.

We feel compelled to share our love and blessings with another child. 

We are so glad you made the brave decision to consider adoption for your baby.

We feel honored that you listened to our story.  We hope you found comfort in our words.  

Hold on to hope!

Amy and Matt

When I was 15 I realized that I was equating anger When I was 15 I realized that I was equating anger with self-confidence… and then I became very aware of how angry people had hurt me, but sad people were not hurtful.
At one point I remember thinking… “who do you want to be? A person that is hurtful… or someone else? if you can choose sadness instead of anger, do it. You don’t want to hurt people.”
I don’t know if Saint John Paul II really said this quote… but I do believe it’s solid advice when people we interact with do upsetting things. 

Choose sadness over anger… and pray for the people and about the situations that are upsetting you.

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of th In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.
Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is sadness, joy;
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console, to be understood as to understand, to be loved as to live.
For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. 
Amen.

You are the average of the five people you spend t You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with," popularized by Jim Rohn, suggests that your mindset, behaviors, and success are heavily influenced by your closest  circle. These individuals shape your habits, energy, and future by acting as a reflection of your own choices and environment. 

I don’t know who Jim Rohn is, but my guess is Saint Francis DeSales would agree with him.

“What does God want me to do??!!!@ Ever ask this “What does God want me to do??!!!@

Ever ask this question?
I feel like I’ve been asking it my whole life.

Some of the best advice I have gotten have been from Saints.

God has a plan for each of us. We are all called to holiness… but we do not all go by the same path (wise words from Saint Katharine Drexel).

The quotes I included in the Be Yourself Journal are actionable, doable and clear.
