January - Friends for Adoption

I got a package from Tina, my Friend for Adoption, today!
It's a gorgeous notebook! You can't see it too well on the picture, but the yellow flowers are all glossy and nice :-)
Tina sent a note explaining that she uses a journal to keep inspirational quotes, songs lyrics and thoughts to remember what she's going through. What a sweet idea!
The first entry in my notebook will be the note... Having a friend to share your thoughts in such an emotional time is a real blessing. Tina's note will be a reminder of how the adoption community is a huge source of support in this intense adventure!

I already love this Friends for Adoption thing :-D
If you'd like to sign up, have a look at this previous post, it explains how!
And make sure to visit Tina's blog!

Friends for Adoption

It all started with two ladies waiting for a child from Taiwan... They became friends and a source of support for each other. And then they had the idea of Friends for Adoption: a matching program for waiting adoptive parents!

It's such a great idea!
All you have to do is visit Brooke's blog to register. She will match you with your Friend for Adoption. Each Friend has to send a little something every month. It can be a gift, or even just a card for support. It has to be less than $15.

I just got matched with Tina, an american Mom waiting for her baby from Poland. She seems really nice, I'm sure we'll get along great! Please visit her blog: http://ourpolishadoption.blogspot.com/.

I will keep you guys posted on how the program is going!
