Couple Success Stories
Erick & Carrie
After much difficulty and craziness, our adoption has succeeded!!!! We wrote a poem about Katie's story:
"She was loved even before the moment of her birth,
She was wished for upon every star above the earth,
She was protected before she developed her own voice,
We prayed for her arrival; this child of our choice.
Unexpected obstacles strengthened our resolve,
Around the need to bring her home our world seemed to revolve,
On planes, trains, cars and feet, we all trekked back and forth,
Each week we traveled west and south, then back home east and north.
As time went by we watched our newborn grow into a baby,
We asked could we please bring her home; the answer came back maybe,
Patiently in foster care, the bud became a flower,
We faced the sun and kept our faith throughout the darkest hour.
Such is nature's triumph in surviving each long night,
Blessed by the dawn and the glory of her light . . .
At long last, with joy and thanks, we share our news with you,
Our Katie bear is coming home; dreams really do come true."
