Honoring Courage


Since the beginning of 2010, 48 mothers have been deeply transformed by the collision of emotion at the heart of adoption.



Love had brought heartache... and then from heartache grew love!

Pain has cried out for healing... and then healing one day replaced the pain! 

Loss gave way to hope... and then hope changed lives lost.

Honoring the courage of 24 birth mothers who selflessly gave of themselves out of love for their child!

For you all have been through pain, heartache, and loss, and as memories of days past fade, we pray that the healing, love and hope will multiply.

Take heart for those of you in-waiting... it is our prayer that you soon will be in the collision of emotion... moving from heartache to love, from pain to healing and from loss to hope again!

Thinking of all of you on Mother's Day.

4+1

Four domestic adoptions were signed and sealed this month through the relinquishment of birth mother's rights and the petitioning of four families to adopt these babies.  Plus... one more baby boy was delivered safely to his waiting family through the Safe Delivery of Newborns Act.  Our education and networking with hospitals and crisis pregnancy centers are enabling those professionals to bring the hope found in adoption planning.
