Rivers Adoption Blog: Meeting our Birth Mother
http://riversadoptionblog.blogspot.com/2010/04/meeting-our-birth-mother.html
Meeting our Birth Mother. I say "our" birth mother because that's what she is. She gave birth to Isaiah, but she belongs to all of us. I don't want to give the indication that Isaiah is the only one who has a relationship with her. We've gotten lots of questions about her:. So have you met the birth mom? So like, do yall have one of those open adoptions where she can see Isaiah and stuff? So was she real young? Do you think she'll ever try and get him back? Why didn't she want him? We love L-Mama. We...

Baby Harshman: November 2012
http://harshmanpartyofthree.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Friday, November 16, 2012. Happy Birthday - Round 2. Three weeks ago Eric and I celebrated Emma’s first birthday. (Here is the letter I wrote to her.). I was told to choose a birthday for our baby girl since her exact birthday is unknown. Well, I must have gotten the date to our facilitator too late (I wasn’t expecting the Birth Certificate Judgment to come so quickly! 8230; and according to her BC Judgment her birthday is… TODAY – November 16. BIRTHDAY, BABY EM! Even though October 25. I won’t hav...

Baby Harshman: What?! Is it that time of year already?!
http://harshmanpartyofthree.blogspot.com/2012/11/what-is-it-that-time-of-year-already.html
Thursday, November 1, 2012. Is it that time of year already? What is your favorite holiday? Mine has to be Christmas! I just love everything about it – the birth of Jesus, Christmas music, celebrating and hanging (and EATING) with family; giving presents, watching others open presents… it’s just a great time! I am definitely one of those people who love to give presents over receiving them. Unfortunately, some people do not attempt to adopt because the costs seem so large at the time. So, with that said ...

Rivers Adoption Blog: Adoption Update (May 2009)
http://riversadoptionblog.blogspot.com/2009/08/adoption-update-may-2009.html
Adoption Update (May 2009). Since we've haven't mentioned anything for months on here about the adoption I figured it was time. Here's the update: We finally got an application. We haven't filled it out or sent it in, but we have it in our possession. Considering we tried to get it at the beginning of March, we feel like it's a feat of sorts. More updates in the future. Chapter 1"- Difficult to Title but Good. Chapter 2"- Adoption Update, May 08. Chapter 3"- The Lord Gives and the Lord. The Bradley Famil...

Rivers Adoption Blog: Difficult to Title...but good... (November 2008)
http://riversadoptionblog.blogspot.com/2009/08/difficult-to-titlebut-good.html
Difficult to Title.but good. (November 2008). I’ve wanted to write this post for a couple months now, but the time just didn’t seem right. And I could think of a hundred different titles to name it… but no matter. I think now’s the time to post it. Baby #2 is on the way! I’m not pregnant. But within the next few months, hopefully our second child will be conceived. I’m really praying for the next month or so (so the arrival is around September/October of next year). Stop cringing. ☺. We (hope) we will be...

Rivers Adoption Blog: Profile Books DONE! (August 2009)
http://riversadoptionblog.blogspot.com/2009/08/profile-books-done-august-2009.html
We had Karen preview our Profile books when she was here for the homestudy. We made a couple of changes, ordered it, and it came in today! We got 4 to start with. Multiple copies are needed so they can be given to more than one birthmom to look at if necessary. We signed them, and I (Sharon) happened to go to Orlando this very day, so I dropped the books off at the Bethany office. Karen was there and said they looked great! What is a profile book you ask? It's a scrapbooker's dream! Chapter 6"- Welcome E...

Rivers Adoption Blog: The Day We Met Isaiah...
http://riversadoptionblog.blogspot.com/2009/10/day-we-met-isaiah.html
The Day We Met Isaiah. It was a Friday. September the 11th to be exact, so a date not easily forgotten. Not that we could anyway. That was the day we met our second child, Isaiah. We had plans that night to go to "Rock the Universe".a Christian event at Universal Studios in Orlando featuring Christian music artists. So in preparation, I washed and detailed the car that morning. Isaac and I were both a mess, I had not showered, Isaac had played in water and dirt all morning. Wow Whoa. Are you serious?

Rivers Adoption Blog: "Do you love Isaiah?"
http://riversadoptionblog.blogspot.com/2009/11/do-you-love-isaiah.html
Do you love Isaiah? A couple days ago a friend from high school called me wanting to know about our adoption. She's the mother of four adorable boys- all four biological.* * The fourth, just a few weeks old! We had talked some before we got Isaiah and she was calling to hear how things went. The first question out of her mouth I think was telling of what goes on in many mothers' and fathers' hearts when they think about adoption. She asked:. So, have you bonded ok with him? It's a valid question. Get to ...
