Grace Truth and Paper Cuts: Chicago Visit

" 3Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:

4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:

5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,

6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved."

Ephesians 1:3-6

Chicago Visit

Chicago!

So, this week I went down to Chicago to help Shelli out with her super adorable children. Judah is doing fabulous, he is healing really fast!! Today we worked on having him stand up a little and just trying to get him thinking about walking again. I am so proud of him, he is such a brave little man. Kirsi is doing so well, as energetic as always and smiley all the way, unless she's hungry or tired of course then those baby blue eyes start to tear up a bit. Shelli is a supermom and I am so glad to be here with her, we are having a good busy time.

Welcome!!

We are so happy that you are here!

This is a blog about our family and our journey in adoption.

Adoption is a lifelong process and depending on who you talk to, it can have a very negative connotation attached to it. But I would like to challenge that thought process by opening our journey to you and offering another point of view.

We have what is called an open adoption. Which means that we have a relationship with the Birth-mother and Birth-Father of our adopted son E. Their is no legally binding contract to make it so, but we willingly choose to have this relationship for our son's benefit, as well as theirs. We refer it as an "Hospitious Adoption" (A book by: James L. Gritter) or an adoption based on hospitality.

Now, we are not experts within all areas of which we may speak, but rather we offer you only our convictions and thoughts. Our desire is to write and speak about open adoption so that more may know of its existence. And that if you must listen to someone speak of adoption, I pray you listen to someone who is intimately involved enough to offer you a well rounded view of what and how adoption affects all involved.

Please feel free to ask questions and comment as much as you would like. We would love for you to feel like you are as much apart of this beautiful journey as we are. So thank you for spending time on our Blog.
