I'm looking to adopt a baby
Hi! Thank you for looking at my profile. I hope this gives you a glimpse into who I am as well as an understanding of what I could bring to a child's life.
I can't imagine what you are feeling. There are many things I wish I could share about my admiration for your consideration, your dedication to making the best decision you can, and your bravery in managing the mixed emotions that come up. My prayer for you is that you find the path that feels right for you.
As you read through my story and get to know me a little, please know that I look forward to getting to know you as much as you are willing to share.
If you desire to have a relationship with the child, I am willing to work with you to make that possible. There are many unknowns, questions, worries, and fears, but as we take these steps forward, we will be able to get to know each other better and be there for the child.
I've wanted to be a mother since I was a child. While waiting for this to become a reality, I have put my energy into being a daughter, sister, friend, therapist, volunteer, scholar, community member, and business owner.
