Great Minds Think Alike--- www.timetoadopt.com

I am amazed at this great big world of adoption out there, that I knew nothing about until we started our adoption process. When the adoption bug bit me, I thought I was the only one that felt this passionately about orphans (except for the weirdoes). :) I of course researched the internet for months before we committed to the mountain of paperwork that the legal world requires. But I spent most of my time researching facts both of the world and of the Bible. I didn’t delve into the realm of personal stories and testimonies. That began during the eternity of waiting for our son.

During this trial of waiting, I have discovered soooooo many wonderful Christian families called to adopt. They too have the burning passion to not only follow God’s call on their lives to adopt, but to spread the word about the orphan need in the world and the wonderful picture of God’s love through adoption. The more I read, the more my heart aches to keep on spreading the word. And I think one of the ways that this message can be shared, is to point you to the amazing personal stories I come across. So I will be periodically adding links to other adoption journeys that I find.

One of my current favorite sites belongs to a family adopting from Haiti as well. She made an entire site that outlines the aspects of adoption that so many people are curious about. When I read her site, I kept saying, “Yes, Yes, exactly what I want to say!” I have been attempting to use this adoption board to do what she so concisely outlined on her site. So I am pointing you to her. www.timetoadopt.com

I will continue my feeble attempt to spread the word about orphans and adoption. But please don’t compare! :)

(This site no longer exists, but I wanted to add this post for posterity sake.)

    You are so sweet!

    This site was such a joy for us to do, but honestly I have NOT updated it once, and it shows. I need to put some time into it, but none the less, thanks for sending people there.

    We can all spread the word about adoption!
