Sharing Dreams & Hope

"Love is to share one's dreams." ~ Anonymous 

After my last post I received several emails (which I really enjoyed reading, thank you) and two actually had a few recommendations to add to the idea of writing Letters to your child you have yet to meet or that you are simply waiting on. The idea was of creating an email just for your baby. This can be kept for years and you can write to the baby/child by sending them personal emails, and even give the email address to the birth-parents to allow them to write to their child too. Then when age oppropriate you could give the child the email account so they can read all the thoughts, prayers, and greetings you have had for them throughout the adoption/pregnancy.

I really like this idea if you are better at putting your thoughts down with a keyboard than a pen or pencil. Personally, I think Keith and I will create an account for the birth parents of our child if they would like to participate. I think that would really be a personal way for them to keep contact and let them know they were thinking of them a lot. I really, really love this idea!

With that including video and pictures you can really document their life as it is happening. I am so in love with this idea. What more could you do for your child than to let them know that you have loved them before you ever met.

Also I just wanted to take a few lines and say how much we really appreciate these thoughts and ideas that you have all shared with us and taking this journey with us by following our blog. We am really amazed by how many people are following us and getting to know us through our experiences. The purpose of creating this blog was to expedite our adoption process, but it really has been so much more. This blog has really helped us connect with so many wonderful people, share our experiences with new and old friends and family members, and more importantly reached out to several people that just need someone to listen to them. On Wednesday we had over 100 hits on our blog and to me that is amazing. Thanks so much and I hope you all have a wonderful day!
