As of today we are one of the family albums able to be viewed on STAR's website. We aren't sure if it's worth spending the money, but we feel like we want to do anything we can to make us visable to any potential expectant parent. So we'll give it a try.
A few weeks ago there were only about 10 waiting STAR families in the family album. Today there are 26 total. As I look at the different families' pictures, I can't help but think - Who would stand out to me? Who would I be interested enough in to click on them and view more? What interests would I be drawn to? What words would make me feel connected? The truth is, many of these waiting families are really very similar, and they all have so much love to give a baby. We are all deserving of finding our babies and building our Forever Families. I can only pray that something about Jay and I will stand out - something will reach out and grab ahold of an expectant parent's heart, enough for her to say "That is the family I want to place my baby with!". Maybe our family album on STAR's website will be the key. Maybe this blog site will be. Maybe STAR will find us our baby. Maybe we will on our own. Maybe a friend of a friend of a friend will make the connection for us. We don't know how, when, where, or why right now. But we do know the what - we know that the what is a precious baby meant just for us.

Today is the first time I have spent real time on your website. It is wonderful. The obvious love and desire you have for a child touches my heart and I know it will touch a birth mothers too. You are both so awesome. God has picked out your child and is preparing it in someone's womb as we speak and that mom will know you when she sees you.
I just wanted to pop by and say hi. I know all the girls from the STAR board. We were Star clients but ended up going private. I am still great friends with all the girls. I wanted to tell you to never give up and keep the faith! Your baby is out there, and when he/she is ready to make their appearance they will! Trust me! You can ask any of the girls about me. They will tell you good things I hope :-) We waited for 9months and then we were matched with our BM, 72 later our son was born. You will have good days and bad days...it is only natural! Don't beat yourself up on a bad day. Also, it always seemed that 2-3 couples were chosen right within the first 3 months of waiting...I hope you are one of those couples!!! I will check back to see how you are doing! Keep the faith!!! Hugs
