Aren’t they cute? I get to claim this cute family as part of my family. Meet Troy, Rebecca, Rand & Caleb. Becca is Bryan’s sister.
Today, I wanted to share their story with you, my online friends, and ask for your help.
A few years ago, Troy and Becca were blessed with a handsome baby boy… Rand. And they were happy. As Rand grew, Troy and Becca decided it was time to add to their family. After trying many different ways to get pregnant and much discouragement, they turned from a medical approach to adoption.
One wonderful day, they were blessed with THE CALL! A beautiful girl named Erin had chosen to place her son in their home.
Can I tell you what I think of Erin? Erin is a most cherished daughter of God. Erin’s act of love was one of the most unselfish and Godlike actions anyone could perform. Through her choice to be a birthmother, she blessed her life as well as the life of my loved ones (and me). She put Caleb’s needs ahead of her own. I can only hope that I would have been as strong and as selfless as she was when she made the choice to share Caleb if I was ever in that position.
I believe that God wants us to be happy. I believe He provides a way for us to be happy (through the sacrifice of His Son). I believe that we can be made whole again. I know this because of what I have experienced personally and witnessed in others through the healing power of repentance. I believe that adoption is a way for healing to start and peace to be found.
Troy and Becca LOVE Erin and are close with Erin and her family. They go to lunch regularly. Erin is special part of their family. They pray for her daily.
They ARE happy. They want to share that happiness with another child.
Here’s where I need your help. Please take the time to visit their adoption blog and read their online profile. Share their story with your friends and keep your ears open. If you know of, or hear of a birthmom who is looking for a wonderful family please send her to their adoption blog or to my blog for a link to their adoption blog.
Word of mouth is a powerful tool and can help them find a baby. If a birthmom you know doesn’t choose them, then it is my hope that another family may be blessed because of my post today.
What a wonderful blessing it is!
Many families struggle with infertility. If it is your struggle, too. I hope you know my heart goes out to you!
