Desire

I have to say, deep down, I have a strong desire to adopt a child. Maybe it stems from me being adopted, or a childhood dream of adopting. Maybe it is knowing the circumstances that these children are in, and the futures they will face. Maybe it is looking at the sweet faces, and falling in love. Maybe it is wanting to have another child with Down syndrome. Maybe it is wanting another child.

Adoption sounds beautiful! I read all the blogs, and long to have my own journey, my own child to bring home. Adoption is SO much more than all of that. It is a big decision to be taken very seriously. And when I seriously look at all the reasons why vs. all the reasons not to, I know the answer is not now. And I have prayed, and prayed, and then prayed some more over this. The answer is loud and clear, in my head and in my heart.

That does not quench the desire. I have fallen for Jamison. And how I wish he could be mine. Knowing that is not to be, I want more than anything to find his family. I want to help them find him, help them by easing the financial burden.

I pray that one day things will change. Until then, please join me in helping Jamison. You can donate now by clicking on his picture which will take you to the Reece's Rainbow site. Or you can start saving now, and donate after November 1st, as part as the Christmas Warrior campaign (if you donate $35 or more you will get a Christmas ornament :) Please share this page, share the information about Jamison and the others like him.
