It's about love

Family Photo
Many of you have already met Colby and Carrie, but Carrie is Justin's sister. This is their darling family. They have two girls, Lizzie and Maddie. Elizabeth and Madison are both adopted and we are so grateful for the miracle of adoption and for the special way that it has touched their lives, and of course, our lives.

One passion that I don't really blog about, is adoption. I worked full-time a few summers ago doing adoptions at LDS family services. I was pregnant at the time and was especially touched by the courage of the birth mothers who placed their sweet babies in the care of adoptive couples, so that their babies could have things in life that they wouldn't be able to provide for them. It was especially faith building to see the miracles that took place when the mothers were choosing the adoptive couples. I think I cried almost daily.

Anyway, Colby and Carrie would like to continue to see their family grow. You can check out their profile here.

So here is my request:If you happen to meet someone who is looking to place a baby for adoption- please pass along Colby and Carrie's names as an option for them to consider.
Thanks

Good luck, Carrie and Colby- we'll be praying for a birth mom to find you!
