Heart for the Unborn. Adoption F.A.Q. Wednesday, May 13, 2015. A little bird fluttered. Through the small screen door opening this morning. He flew around and landed on a window sill right next to me,. Trying to find a way out. I crept over to him saying, "It's ok, it's ok." Gently, I scooped him up into my hands, and he looked up at me with his small black eyes, heart beating wildly. He softly took my finger in his beak, giving me a little kiss, and then took swift flight into the clear blue sky. With a...

Heart for the Unborn. Adoption F.A.Q. Sunday, April 27, 2008. Today marks the anniversary. Of the day our little pup came home to live with us. Little Sophie has quite a story. It all began a couple of years ago at Taco Temple when we met Jaime and Jacob's. I assure you, it is next to impossible not to fall for the little Murph, a chihuahua/terrier mix. With the disposition of a well-trained "big" dog and a good companion for adults and children alike. I think he has ardent admirers. Play into this story?

Heart for the Unborn. Adoption F.A.Q. Tuesday, February 24, 2015. 50 Shades of Red. I left the classroom, the heavy blue door with a shiny silver knob slowly closing behind me, a familiar hiss sounding. The halls were empty and eerily silent. In the Jr. High school. The sun shone through the open double doors at one end, reflecting on the flecked linoleum tiles that covered the floor. I began to hurry. In my diminutive, adolescent frame. Obsession. Or infatuation. I knew that I was being watched. Inf...

Heart for the Unborn. Adoption F.A.Q. Adoption F.A.Q. Back in November of 2008, we began the adoption journey. Due to my health issues, we have unfortunately had to put everything on hold for the time being. We do, however, still feel called to adopt and look forward to a day when that will be possible. Here are some questions we have been asked during this process. What led you to adoption? To sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.” Romans 8:15. What kind of adoption are you going to do? This was de...

Heart for the Unborn. Adoption F.A.Q. Friday, January 23, 2015. Jason goofing around before the spots took over. Jason, my 9-year-old who will always be my baby boy,. What could be wrong with him? Like many curious mom's might do in the event of their child's illness, I had Google'd "rash". Could he get the measles even though he was vaccinated? My son could die, because I've made this mistake," I speculated, utterly dismayed. Has he been exposed to measles? Has he been vaccinated? No," I replied, with t...

Heart for the Unborn. Adoption F.A.Q. Wednesday, January 28, 2015. A Girl and Her Dog. While he looks like a lab, he's only about a foot tall. Crisp and sunny,. Were running about in the enclosure in front of PetSmart. Oh, let's go look! Said the boys with sudden enthusiasm. I had absolutely no intention of adopting a dog. I am reasonable, and I research and plan things out. I do not let dog rescues pull at my heartstrings. At all! Going home with their smiling new owners. And then I saw him. You are goi...

Heart for the Unborn. Adoption F.A.Q. Friday, March 6, 2015. Red and Yellow, Black and White. I love story telling. I especially love it when the story draws you into another world, so to speak, and one has the opportunity to see what it would be like to walk in someone else's shoes. This past Valentine's Day, we watched the movie "42" as a family. I had forgotten what a sweet love story it really is. Jason and I were in the van. And I never really know what is brewing in his reflective mind. This person...
