Looking for help to run this blog!

It has been a while since Elise or I have posted and I feel it is fair to say both of us are so busy currently...I feel we need to ask for help...There are many of you that love this blog...I love this blog but I just don't have the time to write for it right now at all barely. 

Would like to help run the blog?  I know many of you are amazing and able and would add some really great flare to it!  Please reach out thru the facebook page msg if you are interested so I can add you on to the blog! Thanks again ahead!

Sixteen and a Mom...

All I know is I just watched this and I am still teary...ALL of you need to watch this.... birth mom's and women considering placing for Adoption should too.  My husband ended up seeing it on TV about a month ago and kept saying "Deanna you have got to find this movie and watch it" I should have watched it sooner but I can see now why it touched him so dearly since Audri had just been placed with us.  I am so thankful for the selfless sacrifice that Audri's birthmother made for her and us...there are no words....

**This is a full uninterrupted version...**

Good News!

I am so excited to announce some adoption miracles! Starting with the most recent:

James and Deanna have welcomed a beautiful baby girl into their home on Wednesday with about two days notice! Can't wait to hear more details from them. Check out their blog for their announcement post! http://alittlefamilyblessing.blogspot.com/2013/05/surprise.html

Que and Brittany experienced quite the whirlwind in their home in April. They are now a family of four with the addition of a sweet little girl!!!!! Woohoo! Congratulations!!

Love sharing goods news with you all. I'm sure Deanna will check in when she can, but we can all understand she has her arms full of snuggly newborn goodness so she will be busy for awhile!
Soak it up girl! :) -Elise

Their family was never expecting to adopt again after the loss of their daughter last year and IZZY just appeared so they applied and they were CHOSEN out of 500 families that wanted her!!! So They KNOW the Lord is involved!!!

"Last year our 18mo old sp needs daughter passed away. We pretty much destroyed our savings between her funeral and all the time missed from work while we were grieving. We have since been matched with a sp needs 2yr old in Texas.. We have to make our way to texas for training on how to take care of her sp needs. Feeding tube/brain tumor/ blindness.. We have to pay to fly there aprox 800 with flight and hotel.. then 1200 to 1400 to an attorney and another 500 to fly our daughter and the case worker here...". - Kristina

Please Help them make their Dream come true... Thank you and God Bless....

A Birthmother's story...

Why is Tamra, an LDS birth mother, rocking the adoption community?? 

She said "I've seen people tell me after the fact, "Had I known the information, had I heard your story, I would have placed my child [for adoption] and they would have had a better life." I've had people who have had abortions tell me "Had I had accurate and current information, had I heard your story, I would have made a different choice." 

"God was using me to find his family. On this mortal side of things it looks like I shared him with them, but in reality they shared him with me. And the reason is because I needed him too. God got 2 birds with 1 stone: Justin had to go home, but he saved my life on the way." -Tamra
