You aren't Lost

Dear Birthmom,

There have been times on this journey that we've felt SO LOST. Despairing darkness swirling all around, threatening to cover the path before us. Which way do we go? Should we try this? Should we try that? Why didn't it work? Have we failed? Will we fail?

Are we doing the right thing...?

As hopeless as that has made us feel...I can tell you this. The Light ALWAYS returns. We've never been completely lost. If I'm down...Steve picks me up. If he's down, I pick him up. We ALWAYS get back up, and move forward. It may just be baby steps...but we always move forward.  It may take a couple of days...it may take a couple of months...or even years, but the hope returns. There is ALWAYS hope. Always.

We love you,

Jamie

To The Moon...

Dear Birthdad,

I know that I write mainly to our sweet Birthmom...but I think about you often too. I hope that when the time comes for us to meet you, you'll know that we love you too.  And I hope you know that we want you to be a part of our lives. I just read this sweet story about a birthdad, and his experience with open adoption with his birthdaughter. He loves her to the moon and back...you can tell!

I hope we can have the same relationship when you come into our lives.

Love, Jamie
