Adoption!

We have also decided to move onto adoption and are considering domestic adoption or possibly embryo adoption. There is a lot to consider and we are in the very early stages still looking for the right adoption agency.

I think our first choice is probably Bethany Adoption Services.

Hi Pam, my name is Suzanne. I am for so ca. I have been blessed thru both International adoption and embryo adoption. Words can not describle the incredible all three of our adoptions have been. We orginally looked into Nightlight Christain Adoption Agency(nightlight.org) in June 1999. WE were looking into their domestic program when we went to their information seminar and found out about their International Program, Domestic and their newest program at the time "snowflakes," embryo adoption. Their international program I thought was neat, but never thought in a million years we could afford it and number two "I WANTED A BABY!" Through International adoption very rarely do you end up with a newborn. Well we decided on their embryo adoption program and were blessed with a beautiful daughter, we named Mary. Being able to carry her and give birth to her was a dream come true. When she was 6 months old we decided we wanted to pursue another embryo adoption. We requested another application when God revealed to my husbadn and i that we were to go to Eastern Europe for our next child. We signed up for as young as possible (again I wanted a baby). God provided the finances we did not have and then opened our hearts and our minds to the impossible.....to adopting two older children ages 6 and 12 at the time. Words can not describe the blessing that these to equally added to our family. God is good when you prayfully make decisions in the growth of your family HE (God) will knock your socks off! We waited for 13 and 1/2 painfully empty arms years of marriage before ever holding our first child....In October we went back to embryo adoption again and were blessed with a son. In four years God blessed us abudnatly!!!! We have three beautiful girls and one boy and life is never dull! Fell free to visit my website peterandsuzanne.com to see pictures of our miracles. Meanwhile praying for you as you make your decision on what kind of adoption to pursue as you wait for God's perfect timing for your perfect children.
God Bless
