Meet Eddy and Libby! One of my favorite parts of my job is getting to know the incredible families I work with. When you journey with a family through the roller coaster of adoption, you can't help but feel a deep connection with them. This family is the sweetest and just received the wonderful news that they are matched with an expectant mother who is due this Fall!
We started our adoption journey internationally and after 2 years of working through that process and waiting for a referral, we felt God was asking us to look into domestic adoption. We have friends who adopted through Christian Adoption Consultants and after talking to them, I stumbled upon Leah's blog one night, while very frustrated with the international process. I contacted Leah right away, and got a very quick response from her. We felt like CAC was where God wanted us to be and we started on the paperwork right away while continuing to wait on our international adoption. We started viewing birth mother profiles a few weeks later. Having Leah to guide us through the process and answer questions was such a blessing! And trust me, we had lots of questions, and she always had lots of good answers, encouragement and wisdom to offer. Having her walk alongside of us through these last 8 months has made the process so much easier. We just recently got matched with our baby boy who is due October 2nd! We heard a few no's from other birth mothers, which was not easy, but we can see that God has used the wait and the disappointments to grow us and teach us so much and to lead us to our son! We are so excited to meet our son and have him join our family. As hard as this process has been and as excited as we are to see it come to completion, my one disappointment is we won't need to be in regular contact with Leah anymore and I'm going to miss that! We would, without a doubt, encourage anyone who might be considering adoption to give Leah a call, or send her an email....you won't regret it!
Let's rally around this beautiful family and help bring their baby boy home! If you are local to them they are hosting mini photography sessions to help raise their remaining funds to make their adoption possible (details below).
