When they saw the star, they were filled with joy.
-Matthew 2:10

christmas-2017edit.jpgOn behalf of all of us at Lifetime, Merry Christmas! It’s a blessing to be able to help you as you travel the path to adoption.

We’re hopeful that 2018 reveals the next step toward realizing your heart’s greatest desire, parenthood. Lifetime continues to pray for you as you wait, and understand that the holidays can be difficult during this time.

If you haven’t gotten a chance to, make sure to get Lifetime’s tips for coping with the holidays while you’re in your adoption wait. You can get these tips in this piece from a few weeks ago: “In the Adoption Wait? Get Our Holiday Survival Tips.”

Lifetime extend our hearts to you, knowing each of Lifetime’s adoptive parents experience this season differently. We wish you a memorable time celebrating the holidays, however you choose to spend them.

May Christmas remind you that God finishes what He begins; He is faithful in leading our stories to something GOOD. As you follow God’s lead through adoption, focus on what He’s already done, and thank Him for what He’s doing while you wait.

Our offices will be closed on Christmas Day, Monday, December 25. However, Lifetime’s team continues to staff our 24-hour Birth Mother Answer Line. We’ll be available to birth mothers and matched families with urgent updates at
1-800-923-6784.

From all of us at Lifetime, may Christmas blessings of peace and joy be yours in this season of your story. In the New Year, may He give perspective and prosperity as you get closer to how He’ll answer your adoption prayer.

In closing, we wanted to share this quick video of the Christmas photos we’ve received from successful Lifetime adoptive families! Are you ready to get started on the path towards infant adoption? Take the first step today by completing Lifetime’s free online application to adopt!
