Nice Julia! All those years of IF treatments, then the adoption process - whew! I had no idea when I started it would take so long to become a mom - 2.5 yrs of IF treatments, 5 miscarriages, now almost 2 yrs on waiting list. The only thing that keeps me going is that once I have my child it will be all worth it.

Hi there! We just joined this group today. We are Julie, Mike & Matthew, a family extremely blessed by adoption 4 years ago. We have a wonderful relationship with our son's birth-mom & her parents. We can't wait to welcome another child into our family through adoption. If anyone hears about a adoption situation that is not right for them, please feel free to refer birthparent(s) to our site. We are listed on parentprofiles.com - profile ID #24864 or call us at 1-847-219-0533 anytime. May all the people on this site receive all of life's blessings -- best wishes to everyone! - Julie and Mike

Hello All, My name is Denise - just joined this group today and we are hopeful adoptive parents - I lived in Chicago alittle over 15yrs and my Mom, Sister and Niece still lives there, so I think it would be great to find a match there because I travel to Chicago quite often. Our adoption will be my first child and I truly believe that I only want to adopt once and give all my love and attention to this child. I am alittle emotional because this has been a long hard road but I am strong and secure that it will happen for me. Wish you all the best!

Hey everyone! I just wanted to pass along some info for an event in November. Saturday November 6th at 10am at the Old School Forest Preserve in Libertyville there will be a Walk for Adoption. You can get more info here: walkforadoption.blogspot.com. If you're going to come, you need to register...but no worries, it is free. We just need to get a count for our permit.
November is National Adoption Month, please consider joining us to celebrate! :)

We've also created a Facebook group...just search Walk for Adoption...we'll pass along more details about the walk through the Facebook page.

Hello everyone! My husband and I have been waiting for a baby to grace us for a year and a half now. We were recently connected to a birthmom and she decided not to place the baby. Although we were crushed, we continue praying and looking at the positives. My house is immaculate, as I clean and organize when I am stressed!

Hi all,
I have family that live in Jacksonville, Ill and would love to be chosen by a birth mom who lives out that way. Family get togethers would just mean bigger family get togethers :) I actually live in Idaho. We are hoping to adopt and complete our family with an open adoption. I am hoping to meet new people here and make friends :) I wish you all the very best in your adoption journey. I just want to say that I have been blessed with many wonderful friends who are birth moms and they are amazing women. They have touched my life and blessed it. I am excited to be blessed by the gift of a birth mothers love. http://familyjourneyintoeternity.blogspot.com/
