Hi Amie,
We finalized Cooper's adoption! We had our adoption celebration last week by video conference! We are very excited!

Cooper is a great baby and I am truly blessed to have him in my life.  I love being a mommy; it is the most amazing thing I have ever done.  I want to thank you and everyone at Lifetime.  I was very nervous going into the adoption process and you all helped to calm my nerves.  For the most part, this journey was smooth with a few bumps but during those stressful times it was comforting to know that I had someone to call and talk through it with.  I really liked the fact that Lifetime made me feel important and if I called with a question or concern I would get an immediate response.  I can not say enough good about you, Dee and Lifetime.  I have been called for a reference and look forward to sharing my story with more potential families.  I also look forward to working with you in a couple years for a playmate for Cooper.

So from the bottom of our hearts we thank you and may God Bless your work!

-Stacey and Cooper

Aiden just turned three months old and he is growing so fast! We went to the doctor and Aiden weighed 16 pounds and he was a little over 27 inches long! Our doctor said he was definitely going to be a tall boy and he's so advanced! Aiden amazes us every day with what he learns.

Last Sunday was his dedication service at our church. Aiden is the first adopted child in our church and he is such a blessing. We love being his parents! We are so thankful that God chose us to be a part of this precious child's life. We email Aiden's birthmother every Friday with all of his progress, stories of what he did that week, and pictures of him. Thanks again for everything! We will never forget the staff at Lifetime and we will never forget Aiden's adoption.

Dear Veronica & my Lifetime Friends,

I hope you all had a really fun Valentine’s Day.  I got to be at Disneyland for Valentine’s Day with mommy, daddy & Nana.  I had a wonderful first trip to The Disneyland Resort.  I just loved all the sights, sounds, characters and rides (even though I did sleep through a few of them).  My first Disney ride was Heimlich’s Chew Chew Train in Bug’s Land at Disney’s California Adventure but I went on everything from Dumbo, Peter Pan, & Toy Story Mania to Pirate’s of the Caribbean.  I also got to meet Mickey, Minnie, Tinker Bell, Snow White, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Pooh and Tigger.  I wanted to take this opportunity during Valentine’s to tell you again how much I love and appreciate all of you at Lifetime for helping my birthmom and  me find my Lifetime family.  My birthmom calls often to express how happy she is for herself and for us that my mommy and daddy have the opportunity to raise me.  Thank you for playing a huge role in making this all happen!

Love,

Katie (Tricia & Roger's Lifetime baby)

We just wanted to drop a note to say thanks to all the wonderful Lifetime staff and to offer words of encouragement to waiting families.

God's timing is not our timing, but He is faithful to His promises.  We are eternally grateful to Him for blessing us with our wonderful son Caleb. He is such a great baby. He is very alert, active and has the cutest smile that melts our hearts.

It is through God's gift we truly understand unconditional love. No matter how long or how difficult the wait may seem, don't give up and keep the faith. Know that all things work together for good. God is preparing you and your future birthmother for a match made in heaven. Be encouraged, be hopeful and be blessed.

There is only one word or "name" to describe the way we feel. It's JESUS!  Regardless to any obstacle, God was in control.  We are so overjoyed with this precious gift of life.   We have so much we could say, but we truly want to say to all awaiting families is "What God has for you, it is for you!  Please, pray, pray, pray, and keep the faith.  God is with you!

Veronica,

We wanted to let you know that Grayson's adoption has just been finalized! Three months after Grayson came home, we are now legally a forever family!

As you can imagine, it was an exciting day and we will eternally be grateful to you and the Lifetime crew for helping us through our adoption. You are all forever in our hearts and prayers.

Always,
Matthew, Kimberly & Grayson

Hi Diane and Happy New Year to you and our Lifetime Family!

Ayden-Elizabeth is now is nine months old. We are so excited to watch her grow and develop her personality! She is truly our child as she mimics some of our daily habits which is funny for us to see. Ayden-Elizabeth is learning to walk and gets into everything that is not nailed down as she is a very active and curious baby; she just has to know how everything works in the house and beware--she hides every TV remote she gets her hands on all around the house. She is learning to say simple words and she is SO funny as her daddy is teaching her to dance and sing to her favorite cartoon and play jokes on her grandparents; it's so funny to see!

We still can't believe that she growing so fast and we have to pinch ourselves and think back to just a year ago we began our journey with Lifetime and were one of the many families waiting for "the call" that ultimately changed our lives forever. We still want to remind those waiting families out there that their time will come and God will place that special baby in their lives as He has done for us. We can not begin to describe the love we have for our daughter and the indescribable joy she brings to our hearts every day.

We are already planning for Ayden-Elizabeth's BIG first birthday bash even though we are still a few months away but we can't contain ourselves as she is so special to us. As always, we pray for God to work through you and everyone at Lifetime to assist with birthmother and family connections that make successful adoptions and realize dreams of parenthood for so many. We are lucky to be affiliated with Lifetime and can not thank you enough for all of your positive and spiritual energy that you provided us through our journey.

As you know we think of you often and continue the great job of changing lives!

Always with love and blessings,
Dave, Tiffany, and Ayden-Elizabeth

Hi Veronica,

We wanted to say and hello and let you know that things are going really well. Our parents came to visit us for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Our New Year has been truly amazing because we have the beautiful little boy to spend it with; every day brings something new.

Grayson is such a good baby and he is growing like a weed. At two months old, he weighs 10 pounds and is 22 1/2 inches long; he coo's, smiles and is very active, we can tell he is very anxious to be mobile.
Matthew says that if he keeps growing like he is, we may have our future tight end for UGA yet (GO DAWGS!)

We will be finalizing our adoption on next month, and as you can imagine we are very excited. Although we are already a forever family, it's nice to know that things are finally final.

We have no words to tell you how unbelievably happy and thankful we are to have been blessed with such an extraordinary birthmother and our son. Thank you Veronica and Lifetime family for always being so patient, kind and supportive thorough our journey. There were days when we felt like this long desired dream would never come true, but prayer is a powerful thing. We pray that God will keep His hands on you and the wonderful work that you all do.

Be Blessed,

Matthew, Kimberly & Grayson

Hello Veronica & my friends at Lifetime,

I went to see the doctor yesterday.  I have gained two and a half pounds since my last visit and grew two inches in length.  The doctor says I’m a very healthy little girl.  He could tell I’m anxious to be moving around now and seeing what is going on around me.  I smiled and cooed for the doctor too and showed him how strong I am. 

Mommy talks to my birthmom two or three times a week still.  She could hear me “talking” in the background during their last call.  Thanks again for all your hard work toward my adoption.  Thanks for letting us come meet you all last month too.  It was really fun to see you!  I hope you are all doing well and staying warm and dry in this crazy winter weather.  I’ll write again when I can!  Hugs and kisses to you all!

Love,
Katie (Lifetime baby of Roger & Tricia)

Aiden's getting so big! He's seven weeks old and he's been scooting for a couple of weeks now. He scoots all over his mat and pretty soon he'll be crawling all over our house! He eats constantly and he's growing so quickly in length. We can't seem to keep up with him...it seems like we're always in the formula section at the store.

In a couple of weeks we'll have to put him in the six-nine month size clothing. Aiden goes to the doctor for shots next week and we'll see how much he weighs and how long he will be. Hope all is well at Lifetime and we pray for all the waiting families to have a successful match soon. We love y'all and will never forget the amazing adoption journey we had!
 
Love,
Ryan & Brandi

Good afternoon Veronica,
Morgan is still a little angel and the joy of our lives.  She is growing up so quickly!  She is crawling now and into everything.

Thank you again for your help in bringing her to us!

-Damion & Misty

Xavier is growing so fast and becoming quite the character. He speaks very well for his age and processes information like children much older than he. It's hard to believe how fast time flies. Our little man will be three in a couple months! He started daycare and he LOVES it. Being around other children and learning and experiencing new things is a blast to him.

He is also growing into being quite the musician. When we go to church, he is totally in sync with what our band is doing. He has a drum set that he can name the different kinds of drums, a keyboard, and will soon get a guitar. He loves all musical instruments but the drums are his niche. He is the band leader in the house giving orders as to what mommy is to play, daddy is to play and we can only play when he says so! Can you believe that?

We pray that you have a prosperous new year and that you had a great holiday. May God continue to bless you!

Sincerely,
Michael and Alonia

Dear Lifetime,

We still can’t believe that Charles is almost two! We are ever thankful to Lifetime for making us a forever family. 

We pray for you all and the work that you do all the time.

Love,
John & DeNise

May love surround you at Christmas time and always!

Merry Christmas from
Ken, Sharon, Emily,
Chloe, Beau, & Ava

Happy Holidays! We are forever grateful to Lifetime Adoption for bringing Charlie into our family!

From bottle feedings every three hours to eating something every hour, it feels our baby boy has grown into a young man overnight.  Each day we walk through our lives not knowing what the next minute or even second will bring us, but we continue anyway, with the faith that God will order our steps and guide our lives in a direction that will make life worthwhile. 

Mardie and Diane,
 
Another year goes by and we can't help to brag about our two beautiful daughters.  We couldn't of done this without your help.  Many thanks to both of you for making our dreams come true.  They are the lights of our lives!  They are true sisters in every sense of the word and we couldn't ask for anything better.  Many prayers to those who are waiting to adopt...keep the faith, as when you least expect it God will give you the blessings that will fill your hearts with joy. 
 
May you all be blessed during these holiday times and upcoming year.
 
With much love and gratitude,
Archie & Lori

Dear Lifetime staff,

We wish you a Merry Christmas!

To the wonderful Lifetime staff,

We'll never fully be able to put into words how y'all have helped us, so caring and loving and just wonderful! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts or being used by God to help us start our family! Dee, you are an angel with much patience. We had tons of questions and concerns but you patiently answered me and we never once felt like we couldn't email you with a question. Diane, you were the one who gave us the wonderful news! Veronica, thank you for being there for us when we needed your wisdom most and for your concern with Aiden's birthmother. Libby, thank you so much for being so caring and helping us out with everything and trying to get that "perfect" profile! Mardie, we know you've touched so many lives and helped build forever families. We'll be forever thankful to you for creating Lifetime Adoption!

Aiden is precious and means the world to us. We all know that Aiden was chosen by God to be a part of this family and we've seen first-hand how God has used Aiden to change hearts and minds all around us! Aiden was well worth the wait. His birthmother means the world to us!

Love,
Ryan & Brandi

We would like to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a joyous New Year! God bless you and we love you.

Remember, Jesus is the reason for the season!

Happy Holidays to all of you at Lifetime!  We wanted to share a picture from Brecklyn's brother Justin's pre-school program. She's trully amazing and beautiful.  We still find ourselves after two years in amazement that she is ours.

Thanks again and have
a wonderful Christmas,
Lance & Mandy

Hello Our Forever Friends and Family;
We are sending well wishes for Christmas. Brennan has been such a blessing to our lives and everyone that he encounters! Can you believe he is ten months already? He is a very intelligent boy. We have taught him to count on his fingers as we count aloud! He also mimics us reading whenever he has a book in hand! We are forever grateful for your help and respect in finding Brennan.

May you have a very Merry Christmas. May God Bless you all,

Derrick, Tarsha & Brennan

Introducing our blessing, Grayson Alexander born at 1:10 (13:10 military time) so you know the number 13 will be his lucky number. Grayson weighed seven pounds even and was 19 inches long. There are no words to describe the love we feel for our little blessing!

Thank you for all you do,

Matthew & Kimberly
