I have decided that my "Thankful Thursday" post should be about our adoption agency: Family to Family Adoptions, Inc. So as not to ramble on and on, when we started the process we had signed a contract with a different agency & they falsely matched us 26 times and took around $10,000 of our money.
Enter the wonderful Family to Family! There are not really words to explain what I think of the ladies at F2F, they were so wonderful to work with and so caring. We drove 27 hours straight through to get from our Midwest home to Texas and arrived at the hospital when our beautiful baby was 22 hours old! We made a stop by the agencies office to do some paperwork first, but they only did what we HAD to do at that moment because they knew how badly we wanted to meet our little one! The faces of these ladies are forever in my memory, their sweet spirits and great smiles were just heart warming. When we first arrived we met P (secretary), J (our contact person), D (helped us with paperwork, and B (who went with us to the hospital.) We later met M (the founder of F2F) and R (who we were in most contact with dealing with legals afterwards.) Each and every one of these ladies played a very important part of growing our family and to them I am forever grateful! We are currently praying that we would be able to work with Family to Family again.

Loved hearing about your "THankful Thursday!" We feel so blessed by our agency too - which I believe truly opperates more like a ministry than an agency! Ours is completely non-profit meaning no one takes a salary - it is all done by volunteering! THey've been around for 25yrs, and the services they provide for the birth families are wonderful! They truly opperate adoption how I believe God intended it, and I praise Him for bringing them into our life!
Hope you have a wonderful day!
