This I Believe

Hi!

It seems things are a little slow in this forum - maybe just not a chatty as the ladies are - so I think I'll contribute a little. I'm in the process of getting started with adoption but figured I'd post this for other fathers-to-be out there. It really helps me keep going to get through it, especially seeing that point in the future when I'll be called "dad" as well.

Thanks Tony,

I believe you will be a dad and reading things such as what you allowed me to read makes me believe you will be a very good dad.

Best of luck to you

Marc

Great article, Tony. Thanks for sharing. I know it's sometimes easy to think that it will never happen but the thing I tell all prospective adoptive parents is to keep the faith. I will happen. It might take a while but it will happen.

Welcome to the group here. It's great to be hearing from everyone.

That is such a great essay. I sent the link to my dh and to our agency's coordinator. (After I got a tissue.)
