We have had many opportunities to share our journey with friends, family, and many others as we follow our path towards adoption. Recently, we were honored to be a featured article in The Baramoter. You can read about it
Craig Bidiman, the author of the article has shared some of his personal first hand experiences about adoption. He is an adoptee and hearing his story and his willingness to share it with us, means so much. He has also shared a few encouraging words which are much needed during this stressful waiting time.
Here is some of what Craig personally shared:
"Throughout all of my experiences as an adopted child, one thing reverberates most within me: I am unlike anyone else in the world because my family chose to take a chance on me. They didn’t have to. They could’ve just forgotten about me and moved on with their lives. They had enough love to open their hearts to me-a child they had no idea of what would become of. This is why adoption matters. Showing that you are willing to risk everything on someone you don’t even know!
With your passion and intent, you have the opportunity to provide a life for a child who may have never had an option like this if it weren’t for you. You are doing what so many people in this world say they want to do but never follow through on."
Thank you Craig for sharing our story, and touching our lives with your encouragement in more ways than you know.
Wow!!! What an article!! That is so wonderful.
