For Birth Parents
|
I am a 47 year old single mother of five adopted African American children. I am a licensed foster care provider for my state (Michigan). Two of my boys receive SSI and one an adoption stipend because he is a bio sib to my only daughter. This allows me to stay home with them. We a certainly not rich but we are happy. We are very active and enjoy going to the YMCA several times a week. We live near parks 1/2 mile from the shores of Lake Michigan and we like to camp. My oldest son plays soccer and belongs to Youth Alive at church, and my daughter is getting ready to take gymnastics. I am very close with my sisters and parents and we spend most of our time with them. My older sister also has an adopted child and is also my best friend. My oldest son is 6 years old and my youngest is almost two....Life is good. I believe in God the father, Jesus his son and the teachings of the Bible. I believe everything comes from God alone, everything lives by his power and all is for his glory. I believe God can take any situation no matter how bad and use it for good. I believe we are all saved by grace through faith alone and all sin is equal in the eyes of God and all sin separates us from our father. I believe we are all works in progress and God continues to refine us daily. I believe God has a plan for all and wants nothing but the best for us. Our Desire to Adopt… I have always had a heart for children with Down syndrome, also children of color. At 47 and single I feel I’m about done growing my family. I have been waiting for a little girl for many years. Each time my agency calls with a placement it’s a boy. Don't get me wrong, I love my boys dearly, and anyone with boys knows little boys love their moms and are little cuddlers. Having said that, I have been doing much research and lots of prayer about a private adoption outside the foster care system. I am continually drawn to children with special needs, especially Down syndrome. So I decided to step out in faith and look at the things that make me ideal for a child with special needs. The first is that I stay home. The second is that I have room in my home, in my heart, and in my family. Third, I have a great support system. Fourth, I am single so my children get all my attention and time. And most importantly I feel God is pulling me in this direction. Dear Birthmom, Though I can not even
imagine how you must be feeling, I hope you can find some comfort and peace in
the fact that so many people would love to make your child their own. My name is
Nancy and I live in the Midwest. I am a single mother of five adopted African
American children. I have four boys and one girl. I have been a licensed foster
care provided for my state for many years, but I am an AUTO-CAD designer by
trade. I have served in the Armed Forces and have been an active member of my
community for many years. I am an avid runner and to date have run two
marathons. I am easy going and enjoy having fun; we enjoy camping, going to the
zoo, parks, swimming, or just hanging out a home. We believe and serve God in
our local church and community and strive to live a good and godly life. It is
my promise to you that if chosen, I will do my very best to raise a child that
loves God, loves life, and is willing and able to give back to his community. It
is also my hope that we can forge a lasting bond based on our love of your
child. Moser Family |
