We know the adoption process is a journey filled with bumps, twists, turns – it’s just one unpredictable and sometimes incredibly difficult ride.
Friends For Adoption is a “buddy system” that links adopting families together so that they can encourage each other.

{Angela and I - three states separate us but God made it happen!}
Once a month, you and your Friend For Adoption will mail each other something encouraging. It may be a fun card, a book on the country they are traveling to, perhaps a box of “stress snacks” for those days when only chocolate will do. It’s all about having fun, encouraging our buddy, and blessing each other through giving and receiving.
On the 1st of each month, Friends For Adoption creators { Brooke and Angela } will share what we sent each other last month and encourage you to do the same! That post will also serve as a “reminder” post, because you have until the 15th of the month to get your surprise in the mail to your Friend For Adoption! We also plan to provide you with some fun ideas too, just in case you’re “stuck” on what to do.
How simple and fun is that!
I can’t think of a single person on this journey who couldn’t use a little cheering up!
So, ready to get started? Here is how…
1. If you already have a friend you want to partner with, e-mail me {Brooke - MarvelousLoveBlog@gmail.com} your names and blog addresses - be sure you CC your friend! We will add you to the list on the Friends of Adoption Home Page! IMPORTANT! You MUST put "Friends For Adoption" in the subject line!
2. Don't have a particular Friend in mind? No problem! Just fill out the short questionnaire below, e-mail it to Brooke (MUST use "Friends For Adoption" in the subject line!!!), and we will match you as soon as we see a good fit. PLEASE copy and paste the questions below and simply answer them in the email you send to Brooke.
