When Amy found out she was pregnant, she knew the baby needed to be placed with an adoptive family. It didn’t mean the decision was easy for her, but she knew it was the right decision. She was struggling to take care of her 2 children, and relied on assistance from the State of California. She wanted this baby in a home where all his needs would be met, and he would be loved and cared for.

Amy found Act of Love Adoption Agency in Utah and called them. She was so relieved to talk to an adoption counselor and talk through the stress of her situation. She was even more relieved to look through adoptive family profiles. She loved the families she saw, but one family se really liked. She talked to them on the phone and asked them to raise her baby boy. The adoptive family was so excited!

It was just a short time later that Amy went into labor. Her wonderful adoption counselor was able to be with her right after the birth of a sweet baby boy. Then it was time to meet the adoptive family. The adoptive family came into the hospital room, and immediately something didn’t quite feel right to Amy. She didn’t say anything as they visited for a short time. The adoption counselor walked the adoptive family out of the hospital, and then came back to Amy’s room. Amy expressed her hesitation about the family. Her counselor just smiled and told her that the adoptive family walked into the hospital room and immediately loved Amy, but had the strong impression this was not supposed to be their baby. Amy wondered what would happen now.

The adoption counselor quickly got more adoptive family profiles from the agency. These were families that were new to the agency. Amy looked through a couple of profiles, and then saw one that caught her eye. She knew in her heart that this was the right family for her baby boy. Amy talked to the family on the phone, and immediately sensed a difference in the two families! She asked this adoptive family to travel to California to pick up their baby. They were thrilled!

Amy met the new adoptive family, and it felt totally different than the first time! She knew this was the right family for her baby boy, and believed that God had his way of showing her and the first family that the situation wasn’t quite right. She followed through with her adoption plan, and loves getting pictures and letters! The first adoptive family she had chosen was placed soon with their beautiful baby girl and they all knew that everything had happened like it was suppose to happen.
