Well, we are filling out adoption papers again, hoping to find another member of our family. Most placements are made because of knowing someone who knows someone who knows of a child. Both of our children were found that way. So I'm getting the word out to as many people as possible. We need your help to find our children. Not as much fun as having kids the old fashioned way but this way we can involve all our friends and family. :)
I know that to many of you I'm a faceless person behind a computer screen but I'm asking anyone who's willing to keep us in mind if you know of a child or children who need a home. Our adoption website isn't up yet but if you want to find out about us shoot me an email (sara(dot)bowers(at)gmail(dot)com) and I'll send you all the info that we give to our agency and that we would put on our adoption website profiles so you can get to know us.
Thanks for reading and for keeping us in mind.
Our children have changed our lives, and I hope we've changed theirs for the better.
Wow, that is amazing, it really is. What a kind and wonderful human being you are.
ReplyDeleteYou realize, of course, that i want to joke about sending my two teenagers your way!!!! Seriously, I don't know any children who could use a home like yours, but if I did, I would be thrilled to pass their information along. Good luck!!!
I don't know of any children, Sara. But I think it's wonderful that you and your husband seek out children who need a home. Blessings to you. :)
ReplyDeleteAww. What cute kids!
ReplyDeleteBest of luck. :)
Sara,
ReplyDeleteThere you go, passing out golden tickets again! Your children (all of them) are blessed by the parenting you two give. It will happen in the fullness of time. {{{hugs}}} to you all.
You will be the ones I think of when I come across a child in need of a loving, beautiful home. I'll let you know if/when I do.
ReplyDeleteYour children are adorable and I wish you the best of luck with finding another child. There are so many children that need a good home. Hugs to you and your family and hope you can keep us posted. (:
ReplyDeleteI second Elise-- your children are very cute.Best to you in future adoptions-- what a blessing to offer children love and a home.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Julie. They're a blessing to our home.
DeleteWe'll do what we can. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks David.
DeleteBig congrats, Sara! I'll let you know if I hear anything. My daughter (15) is adopted from China. Love that you're adopting again. Wish we could have but with the expense and my husband's health, it didn't work out.
ReplyDeleteMy wife and I had planned on adopting, but two (unexpected) children 13 months apart put the brakes on pursuing that. I do wish you all the best in your search.
ReplyDeleteThat's so exciting! My sister has adopted both of hers, so I know what a huge difference getting the word out there makes. I will definitely keep my ears open!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the adoption process! {{hugs}}
ReplyDeleteBest wishes in finding another family member and, if by some off chance I happen to hear of anything like this, I will definitely let you know!
ReplyDeleteThanks for keeping us in mind, Mark.
DeleteWhat a lovely post, Sara. My sister's oldest daughter is adopted and they went through their state (Oregon.) I will certainly keep your request for assistance in mind.
ReplyDeleteThanks Suze, It's fun to see how many people's lives are touched by adoption, I love hearing their stories.
DeleteP.S. my hubby is from Oregon.
This is such a touching post, Sara. I hope you find another beautiful child to be a part of your family. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Julia.
DeleteMuch luck!!
ReplyDeleteSending loads luck and good thoughts your way. My older sister is adopted and I don't want to imagine what life would be like without her. Keeping my fingers crossed for you guys.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your sister's story with me. And thanks for the good wishes.
DeleteI won't be much help since I live in another country.
ReplyDeleteKeeping my fingers crossed that you'll increase your family soon, Sara. :D
Best of luck!! Can't wait to hear good news.
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing thing you're doing!
ReplyDeleteI'll keep my ears open over here :)
Good fortune, Sara. I don't have the connections I once did, but am keeping my fingers crossed and my ears open for you.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jo. I'll take the crossed fingers and any prayers you can send.
DeleteI think it's wonderful that you've chosen to adopt! If I hear of anything, I'll keep you in mind!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI think adoption is amazing. So happy you've given two children a better life already. :) I'll keep my fingers crossed for you that you can find another child for your sweet family. :)
ReplyDeleteI wish I knew someone. Your children are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThis post made me so happy. You have such a kind heart!
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I will be adopting from foster care in 2-3 years. Seeing pictures of your beautiful, adorable children just makes me wish the time would come already. :)
I don't know of any children in need of homes (though I knew a child who did in the past, back when I worked a day job, so it's not impossible.) I'll keep you in mind. Best of luck!
Bless you. Actually, I have no doubts that your children already bless you. (And vice versa.) I don't know of any children offhand, but if I come across any, I'll let you know. Any specifics? Like are you looking for an infant? At any rate, good luck.
ReplyDeleteWe're pretty open. I'd probably like to stay under 6 years old, but we'll consider anything. Thanks for your good wishes and for keeping us in mind.
DeleteI'm so inspired by your actions, Sara. I'm too far away from the city to know anyone in this predicament, but you never know. I'll get in touch if I ever hear of anyone.
ReplyDeleteI had the aww...feeling while reading your post. What an inspiring thing you're doing. I wish I could help, but I'm too far...
ReplyDelete~Nas~
Your two children are beautiful. I think it's so great that you're interested in adopting again. It warms my heart to think that you would be matched up with another child sometime in the near future...If I hear of anything, I'll let you know.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to email you at the address you have on this blog and send you my email address.
Best of luck for your new journey :)
ReplyDeleteCan they be from anywhere in the world? It's an amazing thing you're doing and I hope you find your new special guy/girl soon. Your kids are cute!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you'll get what you want, and a child will get what s/he wants by coming inside a loving home.
ReplyDeleteSara, it's a good day to drop by your blog. I hope your dreams come true. Your post inspires me and I'll be putting out a call soon.
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome! I used to be a Foster Parent and understand the need for good homes. I will keep my eyes and ears open.
ReplyDeleteI love that you were a Foster Parent. There is a great need for them. Thanks!
