As the hype of 11.11.11 was going around today, I decided to google what the significance was of 11.11. I was surprised to find out that it could be more relate able than I thought originally. Growing up, I have had the superstition to make a wish whenever the clock struck 11:11. I don't know where, why or how this behavior became about, but it has been instilled upon me for a few years. Today, my wish was of utmost importance; BRING BABY JACK HOME!!
After searching the web for the meaning or significance, I found that many websites claimed that this was a way of angels communicating. This really struck me hard. Now, I don't know if this has any true meaning behind it or not, but right now we really need an angel watching out for us, Jackson, and Jake. This has been a long and exhausting journey, and we really hope the end is in sight. We really hope that we have some unanswered prayers and SOON. We need to have our baby home for the holidays.
Everyday, Jackson gets older and older, and develops so many characteristics, talents, and quirks, and we have been RIPPED of our right to be able to see him develop. My son, has been deprived of meeting his cousin, who is only 4 months younger than he is. We have not gotten to hold, see, or kiss on our sweet little baby. We don't even know if he is healthy or not....
We believe that everything happens for a reason. We are not sure of the reason, that this catastrophic ordeal had to happen to us or to the adoptive couple, but hopefully one day SOON, all of our questions can be answered.
We not only have a journey and purpose now to get Jackson home, but we now have a desire and lifelong goal to make sure that this does not happen to ANYONE else. We have to take a stand and not let unhealthy laws, and principals dictate the outcome of children. Please help us in this uphill journey!!!! VOICE your opinion to the UTAH STATE LEGISLATORS.
To the adoptive couple, please reach out to JAKE. He needs to meet his son. A picture is worth a 1000 words!

ReplyDeleteIt is soooo important for an adoptive child to know who his biological parents are and to have the adoptive couple talk about them often and in a positive manner. There is a book out by James Gritter that all adoptive couples should read.
ReplyDeleteThe best interest of the child shoudl always be #1. That may mean that not trying to take him away from his adoptive parents is best but by all means he should have a relationship with birth mom and birth father.
