Bundle of Hope Ministries, we are finally home!

At long last, we have prayerfully decided which Adoption agency we will work with.  Bundle of Hope Ministries in Jacksonville, FL is that agency.  We first received a referral to them, and then their name was placed in front of us another time.  Their staff is kind, quick to respond, and most helpful.  They have provided us with resources to learn all about how they minister to birth moms in need, and this just feels right.  Additionally, the state of Florida has a warm place in our hearts.  We know many special people there.

This poem comes from the Bundle of Hope Website.  I think it speaks volumes!

THE LEGACY OF AN ADOPTED CHILD

Once there were two women

Who never knew each other.

One you do not remember,

The other you call Mother.

Two different lives

Shaped to make yours one

One became your guiding star,

The other became your sun.

One gave you your life,

The other taught you how to live it.

One gave you a need for love,

The other was there to give it.

One gave you emotions

The other calmed your fears

One saw your first sweet smile

The other dried your tears.

One sought for you a home

That she could not provide.

The other longed for a child,

Her prayers were not denied.

You were born from caring courage,

Nurtured with help from above.

You are the blending, my child
of two different kinds of love.
