To: Jordan's Biological Mom
This is a thank you from one grateful dad for the choice you made to keep Jordan and offer him for adoption. I know you could have made the choice to abort Jordan, but instead you chose to carry him for nine months and give birth to him on June 3, 2007 I just wanted to give you an update on our J-man.
He loves to sing. I am not for sure if you did alot of singing while you were carrying him, but he loves singing all types of songs, from "Frosty the Snowman" to "Jesus Loves Me." Thank you for allowing me to hear my J-man sing.
He also loves to drive his tractor outside. We enjoy long walks in which he drives with a purpose and I am able to journey with him through reminiscing about my early days growing up on the farm. Although he is not genetically my boy, we share so much in this. Thank you for giving me this opportunity to walk beside my J-man while he drives his tractor.
He is a boy full of kindness. You cannot push Jordan on a swing without him saying thank you! Most times you have to teach children to say "thank you", but J-man reminds me to say "thank you" to others. Thank you for allowing me to experience this kindness.
He is also a boy full of compassion. He cares so much about others. Just the other day Ava, his sister of the same age from Haiti, got into trouble. Just after I finished scolding her, she had to go to the restroom. A few minutes later, Ava was still crying on the toilet and Jordan had his arm around her with her head in his chest. This made my cry! Thank you for these experiences you afforded us.
Oh, one final thing! He is definitely his mommy's boy! They have all kinds of cuddle time and special moments. He loves his mama very much! Thank you for allowing me to see a different side of my wife in the gift of J-man!
I know there had to be difficult times in the carrying of Jordan for the 8-9 months. There might have even been some times you wished that you wouldn't have, but I want to tell you that you made the right choice and we are forever grateful!
Sincerely,
Jordan's adoptive dad
Why do I write this letter? Because I am truly grateful. After coming face to face with the reality of abortion, I am forever changed. What is done is horrific! We have allowed this to go on too long! Praise God for Grace House Ministries and Abort73.com, but we cannot let them do this alone! We must stand and support these Kingdom Ministries in their day by day powerful impact! We cannot stand by any longer as followers! Whether it is through adoption, supporting, volunteering, being a voice through supporting PRO-LIFE candidates; we must do our part!
A few statistics about abortion:
WORLDWIDE
Number of abortions per year: Approximately 42 Million
Number of abortions per day: Approximately 115,000
Where abortions occur:
83% of all abortions are obtained in developing countries and 17% occur in developed countries.
Be a voice of change! Stand up and fight for those that do not have a voice!
Great stuff man...
