Promise vs. Biology. Family can grow through genetics shared with relatives
through birth: biological children, parents, siblings, grandparents and so
on. No matter what happens in life the genetic
connection remains and nothing can erase that permanency.
Family can also grow through
promise. Marriage is an example of this
and so is adoption. Both are legal
ties. The union of marriage(among other things)is to provide
a loving and caring family for both man and wife.

On our wedding day we both publicly declared our
decision to devote our love to each other “till death do us part.” The decision to adopt was made by both of us,
prayerfully we decided go forward, and patiently we now wait. Together we promise to devote our love to a child
and provide a loving and God honoring home.
