Adoption help!


Dear Family and Friends,

We hope this letter finds you well. As you may already know, we have been married for 6 years and as yet have not been able to have children. After many tests and no success we have decided to seek a child through adoption. We are writing you to ask for any help you can give us in building our family through adoption.

If you become aware of a birth mother who is looking to place her child in a loving home, we would appreciate help in recommending us to the birth mother. If she is willing to consider us as adoptive parents, please contact us at (480) 231-0728 or you may contact our caseworker Larry Draughon at LDS Family Services at (480) 278-3636.

We have enclosed a photo of ourselves that could be shown to a potential birth mother. If she would like more information, Larry Draughon or we can provide her with additional photos and information concerning our background, family, careers, hobbies, and interests. Birth parents may also view our online profile at www.itsaboutlove.org by clicking on “View Adoptive Family Profiles” and then click “continue” under guest, then click on “find a profile by ID or name” and then type our names in- Paul and Darla.

Thank you in advance for your help as well as your love, support, and prayers.


Love,

Paul and Darla Black

Family Photos




Paul and I (ok I guess really me) have been wanting to take family photos for such a long time now. We have not had any photos done since our wedding over 6 years ago. One of my old roommates took the photos for us and they turned out great! We took them downtown Phoenix. I like that urban look with photos. Paul was not sure at first but I told him to trust me they will turn out great. He loves how they turned out and so did I.

On Our Way to Adopt!!!

We just got certified to adopt!!!! We are so excited about this. It has been a long journey to this point but we are on our way to adopt. We have spent YEARS trying to start our family and have come to the conclusion that this is the right step for us. Wish us luck through the process.
