Adoption Letters, strength to let go



Matthew 18:5 - And whosoever  shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.

How do you tell a father/mother Thank You for letting you raise their son!!!  To grandparents who want to raise him, but just are ready to be Poppi and Mimi. Don't think there are perfect words. It's more showing them. Showing them you will love and care for their child as they would. As a adoptive parents it feel like you have to do better, you have more of promise to up hold.  Here a letter I wrote to Skyler's birth family.  They chose life instead of abortion. They chose to give their child a opportunity. They gave a couple a hope. Think of the strength God gave them, not many of us have that strength, only God can give birth families this strength to allow their child to be raised by someone else. I believe it's only strength from God and allow us to raise somebody else's child when our heart desires to have one of her own.  Adoption is a act of God. See Justin didn’t want to adopt at first. It took time. Knowing it's not just us, two other parent are part of our child to. But it's a beautiful triangle of love brought together by God.  Here is the adoption symbol: 

One side is birthparents, one side is adoptee, one side the adoption parents. The heart represents the love we all have for each other. I am forever grateful for the birth family of Skyler and their love they have for us  we will always love them because they are part of Skyler.

To Skyler:  Poppi (In Memory of) and Mimi.
Skyler will remember Poppi’s love for him, but it’s up to us to show and tell him as he grows. Poppi loved Skyler, I will remember to tell Skyler he sang to him as he rocked him in his arms, Prayed over him, and took him to church for the first time. Even preach to him 😀! Poppi you will be missed (went home to be with the Lord in 2016.). Mimi loved her boy, Thank you for staying up late nights with him, getting him healthy and strong, Took him to church for the first time, made his first prayer blanket.
(Poppi and Mimi loved their grandbaby but know they were ready to be just that. Not parents again. So the pray. GOD ANSWER, by bringing us all together in room. That day Poppi Rod said, i felt God peace. He knew Skyler was meant to be with us.) A loved like these is beyond measure because that how big God loves is.  I am forever grateful to you for blessing us with your grandson. Skyler is a true blessing. I promise to teach him all about Jesus. Just as you started when he came to live with you!!!

Dear Skyler, birth mother and Birth father 

When I loss the Quints I started to process would I ever have the opportunity to love and raise a child on earth. I praise God and keep praying God will in life. Well God's working. God had big plans for Skyler, and he was hearing us both. I want to thank you, but it seems so simple to say, because I am so grateful to you for blessing us with a beautiful special gift name Skyler. Who is strong like you? Don't let anyone ever say you gave up your child, because that is far from the truth. What you did is give your child a life, opportunity, and extra love. That what a real true mom/dad does. We will be able to share the love of Jesus, make memories and more, something we never thought we would do. I am forever grateful to you. You both, your future children, and family will always have a special place in our hearts and prayer. 

We promise to tell him about you and your love and choice that show true unconditionally love. We cannot promise him a life free of pain or hurt, but what we can promise is that we will be by his side, praying and guiding him through life journey. We promise to love him unconditionally. And committed to doing the best we can as parents that you have chosen for him. 

Thank you for your decision, may you always know of the profound joy you brought into the world. Our love goes to you and to the part of you that lives within our Son.



Love 
Forever greatful mom and dad,
Christ love
Felicia and Justin Kruse
