Adoption Profile tip

When selecting photos for the creation of your adoption profile, make sure to select the ones that complement the story you are telling. Just placing random photos doesn’t enrich your text.  Your adoption profile tells an endearing story of depth.  The photos you select should illustrate THAT story.

Your Adoption Profile - tips

As you begin to write about your home sit in the quiet and think about your childhood.   As a child, what made your house a home?  Did your childhood home influence where you live today?  City, Suburbs, Country?  Did you locate there for a job?  As we looked for more space I mentioned loving the neighborhood where I grew up.  We wanted a big yard for kids to play, a basement to feel safe from bad storms.  We wanted a great school district.  We ended up with all of that. 

When I’m driving up to my home I see the yard and feel love.  I open the front door and feel the warmth of belonging.  The pictures on the wall tell a story of who we are as a couple and family.  Our little girls played dress up and restaurant in the family room.  We built tents with blankets using the couch as our support.  Friday evenings after dinner we turn the dining room table into an art center.  We mold bowls or people with clay, make pictures from construction paper, scissors and glue. We paint and play board games.  How about you?

Your Adoption Journey

Some call it prayer, some meditation, and others visualization.  It helps me and those in my family...we don't use it for things like brownies :-)...just parts of life that matter most.

Adoption Profile help - Taking time


Each weeknight this week, we spoke with a room full of waiting hopeful adoptive parents.  Helping them a part of what drives me every day. 

Parents work so hard on telling their unique story.   Then it becomes a practice in staying active with it. During the time spent waiting to connect, it’s important to take a little time for yourself.  Sit in the quiet and pray, meditate, or visualize connecting.  Not in a needy way, but in a way that puts it out there to the universe.  You don’t have to be “churchy” to ask the universe for help and guidance.  I made a practice of it years ago and it’s helped me through life’s most difficult times.  It can bring you a sense of calm.
