I'm just feeling such a tremendous need to thank everyone and I don't know how to do it well enough.
God is so good. He's blessed us so much during this waiting period. He's given us amazing, kind, generous people to remind us that people are good and He is good.
(And this is not just my experience. Most people I talk to who are trying to adopt- especially without an agency- have this happen numerous times.)
It makes me want to be cynical and angry and it makes me want to cry.
But then I get another text, email, fb pm or comment from one of YOU
that reminds me that most people are good, are true, are honest, are kind, are....
...amazing.
And I feel buoyed up and hopeful again,
that one day (crossing fingers it's this time!) we will come into contact with a birth mother who is
good, is true, is honest, is kind and is amazing. And I'll feel so lucky and blessed to know her.
So...
Thank you for helping us get ready for adoption.
Thank you for easing our burdens.
Thank you for encouraging us and giving us hope.
Thank you for helping me remember.
Misaotra!
(Malagasy for Thank You!)

I remember talking to Jana about her horrific adoption experience once, feeling so angry and her response being "I just feel so bad for her." You Rowley's are amazing!!!
This is so sweet. I'm so glad that you've felt so much love and support from those around you. You are definitely loved and have made a big impact on a lot of people.
Hi Cherise! It's been a really long time - I am so happy to see you and Bryce are going through the process to adopt! There is a very lucky baby out there waiting to have amazing parents like you two. I hope your wait isn't long, and you get your hearts desire very soon! We had our IUI baby Dec. 23, 2014. She's almost a year old now. It's been crazy and so joyful. I can't wait for you two to be able to share your love. Good luck on this journey!
