In the last few years I’ve had a handful of close friends adopt- some from overseas, some domestically. A few opted to explore the foster to adopt program and have welcomed children that way. Whatever the means, these are amazing families, welcoming amazing children full of promise and a bright future. I’m so blessed to have walked beside them, supported them in little ways, and most of all – prayed these children home to their forever families. It’s a bittersweet thing to see, but in the end, truly beautiful to see the adoption process come full circle honoring birth parents, adoptive parents and the children they all love.
Are you an adoptive family ready to announce your latest blessing to the world?
Look no further than these darling announcements! I love the unique spin these shops put into their announcements – highlighting the whole family, showcasing birth countries, and finding space to include the homecoming date in addition the birth date. What a very special way to honor the beautiful gift of adoption!
