LDS Adoption

I placed my daughter for adoption through LDS Family Services Adoption Agency in 2007.
My experience there was perfect for me and my situation. I was raised LDS and have a family that is very actively involved in the church. I had heard of LDS Family Services a few times, but really had no idea about [...]

With the World Cup being in South Africa this year we have talked a lot about two things in my house recently- soccer and my husband’s mission. When my husband was 19 years old he was asked to serve a two year in Cape Town, South Africa. While there he lived all over the western [...]

There is a family that lives two houses down from us who are like the majority of families in this area. The mom and dad are happily married and have been since college. They have 5 children; 3 girls and 2 boys. The older children play the piano, are involved in sports, and sit quietly [...]

I want to adopt and know that we should. Before I got married I told my then fiance that during our life we needed to adopt a baby. When we discovered that we had some infertility problems we thought that was God’s way of telling us it was time to adopt. When I went to [...]

There is one thing about LDS Family Services that can either be viewed as a pro or as a con. They let the birth parents pick out the adoptive couple and really have no say, or input, as to which couple should be chosen for a baby. I think this is a wonderful thing. I [...]

We’re at that point when we need to make the call to an adoption agency to get the ball rolling. So last week I called the local LDS Family Services and asked the man 1,800,000 or so questions. I was looking forward to that phone call for almost a month and I naively thought I [...]

In my last post I talked about how every family seems to have that certain number of children that they feel would make their family complete. We feel that four is our “magic number” and we hope to get started on working toward number 3 really soon.
When I sat down with my husband and started [...]

We all have those days when we just do not want to hear it! I know you have your opinion but please just keep it to yourself. I get like that a lot when I’m around my mother. She is the type of person who will tell anyone exactly how it is in the bluntest [...]

I’ve spent the last week at home with my parents for Mothers’ Day. My mom had the week off of work so we’ve been able to spend a lot of time together and talk about my childhood and my children. I told her that the doctor thinks the possibility of birthing more children would be [...]

I found this poem/song on a friend’s blog the other day. I’m not sure who wrote it (I’ll have to ask her) but I find it absolutely beautiful. With today being Mothers’ Day, I feel it would be a great time to share it. This poem does a wonderful way of summing up how I feel most days [...]
