I fell in love with blogging over a year ago as it is a great way to keep in touch with our families and friends that live on the other side of the country. Recently, though, I have come to love blogs for a different reason.
A lot of people have been posting blog entries about our hope to adopt. Family and friends, of course, but also random people. People we have never met. People that have never met us, but are touched by our story. Seriously, amazing.
I LOVE IT.
Thank you, family and friends, and all you random blog readers, for helping us to spread the word. For helping us to find a birthmom and the baby that was meant for our family. It is easy (so, so easy) to lose hope, to get discouraged, to feel like we’ll never be parents. And then I find out about a perfect stranger blogging about us, and I feel a resurgence of hope. The past few weeks have been a bit emotional on the adoption front, so your blogging and outpouring of love has come at the perfect time. I am teary-eyed thinking about it, about the love we have been shown, about the adoption message you all have been spreading, and I can feel my hope surging again.

Oh, you guys. I cannot imagine the rollercoaster you have been on. I just hope you know you have so many prayers, and so much love coming your way. You are amazing people, you really are, and I am touched by your love for each other, and the faith that you have in eternal families. So much love and hugs to you.
Don't lose hope!!! You are going to be an amazing mother and it WILL happen!!! I promise! I never thought we would ever get that phone call, but it happened when we least expected it. You will be parents and you will be able to look back and see how perfectly it all worked. If I had only known this time last year that today I would be rocking my daughter to sleep, I think the wait wouldn't have been so bad. You will be parents, it will happen and you'll be wonderful parents.
Hi Sara! I'm so glad you found my blog! I had no idea you were trying to adopt, but I'm so happy you are and wish you the best. My brother and sister are both adopted and it's wonderful that I can have a family because of their generous birth parents and my own parent's desire to raise children. Best of luck! Keep checking in on my bolg! I added you to my list so I'll be blog-stalking you from now on! E-mail me sometime at day_emily@hotmail.com. All the best!

Sorry, one more thing - is the dog photo a Boston Terrier? Or a French Bulldog? Is that your dog or just a random photo? We have a Boston so I was just wondering.
Sara, you are cool. Really, really cool. And don't you forget it.
P.S. I just read your tag from a few posts ago. I'm totally in the same boat w/ the hair situation (except I first noticed mine at 17). I feel much better knowing I'm not alone in that department. Thank you.
I'm always on the look out. It is kind of becoming an obsession for me too. I have become a part time stalker to one girl. UGH. Why won't they just do what I want?
You guys are the best. I love you.

Who posted about you randomly? You've created a seed of curiousity in little me! BTW I am holding my breath here!
Don't lose hope! I cannot imagine what you are going through, but know I am thinking about you!
I love that you are strong and that this may take time, but that you have hope!! You two really will be wonderful parents, keep us posted w/ any great news that comes your way!!
