The miracle of our son William Garber Kamarek III

Please find our story on the blog of the agency that did our Home Study that we were using for pursuing adoption. We hope it inspires others out there that are pursuing adoption, miracles do happen and adoption is a WONDERFUL thing.

I cannot thank you all enough for your amazing support and love and prayers. Liam is ours and we still have to pinch ourselves every day.

Home Study is complete....

Our home study is complete! We had a wonderful experience with a great social worker, Deanne. Who has come to our home 3 times since November, and wrote a very, very nice home study up on us....just a short 30 pages :) She emailed us the completed Home Study last night for us to proof. That's the joyful news we needed this week. We now will continue to market ourselves through AIS, our "consulting firm", but we also are applying to 3 or 4 other agencies that have no up front costs, until matched to a birth mother. Locations are scattered around the country from FL, OH, OK, NV, UT and a couple other states. We were initially cheering for our baby to come from UT or FL because we have family homes in both states - but truly, we are just ready for our baby to join this family and we are fine with him/ her coming from any state, obviously.

I just finished reading an amazing book - very short and VERY good for anyone interested. "The Gift of Sam". This book was written from the birth mothers side - true story. She made me realize a lot more than I have in the past, about what happens on that side of the adoption. It was a very tearful book but I am so glad Deanne gave it to me to read.

A friend sent me this....a good motto for me to live by right now
