Maile's Family

 

When my husband, Isaac and I, decided to adopt, we really didn’t know where to turn. We interviewed several places and once we found Journeys of the Heart, we knew we were home. What impressed us most was the organization of the program. As time went on, we were able to appreciate the Journeys family and all of the support they were able to provide for us. Every detail was mapped out in advance  and we always felt as though things were on track. We felt so safe knowing that Journeys was going to be there to help us through our adoption experience. We particularly liked the fact that so much of the Journeys program seemed to be centered on the birthmother and her well-being. It was important to us to go through an agency that would treat the birthmother with compassion and understanding and a firm respect for her wishes.  We really wanted to someday be able to tell our child that his or her birthmother was cared for and nurtured during this time.

A month after entering the program, we got the news that we had been chosen. It was the best phone call of my life. My father is from Hawaii, so you can imagine our delight when we were selected by a Hawaiian birthmother! Two months later, she gave birth to a baby girl. We named her Maile, in honor of the bridge that connects our family with her birth family. To our delight, Maile’s birthmother asked if she could select a Hawaiian middle name. We are so excited to be able to tell Maile someday that her birthmother took part in naming her.
Maile continues to melt our hearts daily. Every day we feel so grateful to have her in our lives. Even though she’s too young to understand now, we always talk- About her birthmother and what a gift she’s given us all. We hope to raise Maile with a strong sense of self and an  understanding of just how many people love her. We will always be grateful to Journeys for bringing Maile home to us. We feel so good- About our decision to join the Journeys family. They guided us with a loving hand, while at the same time making sure that all details were tended to. We couldn’t have asked for a better way start to our family.
