Rachel and Brent had a great life together. They both had stable jobs and and just bought a house with some roommates. They were able to host parties and get-togethers, and they loved the freedom that their lifestyle offered.

Rachel took a pregnancy test and it was positive-this rocked her world. She had plans for more schooling and to continue with her work. How would she be able to take care of a baby. Rachel and Brent sat down with their families to discuss their options. Both Rachel and Brent’s families wanted to raise the baby. Rachel and Brent considered this, but felt it wasn’t fair for their unborn child.

Rachel started to do some research and began looking into adoption agencies. She found an agency, Act of Love Adoption Agency, and decided to go to their office. She was greeted kindly and was immediately able to talk to an adoption counselor. She took the paperwork home with her so she and Brent could look through it. As they talked more about adoption, it felt right to them.

Rachel and Brent told their families that they had decided to place their baby girl with an adoptive family. Their families tried to talk them out of it, but Rachel and Brent said they felt peace with this decision. Their families agreed to support them in the process of adoption.

Rachel and Brent started looking at adoptive family profiles. They looked at many profiles before they found the family they knew should raise their baby girl. They showed their families the profiles–they loved this adoptive family as well. Rachel and Brent decided to start talking to the adoptive family. They did phone calls, then Skype calls. They connected with the wonderful adoptive family they had selected and shared many conversations with each other.

Rachel was a few days overdue before she finally went into labor. The adoptive family flew to Utah from Mississippi to meet their baby girl. Rachel and Brent had peace through the whole adoption process. It was a little more difficult for their families, but they were supportive of Rachel and Brent. Rachel and Brent love the adoptive family as well as the sweet baby girl they placed for adoption with them.
