Lifetime Adoption's staff at the company Christmas party sending Christmas blessings your wayThe entire staff at Lifetime Adoption would like to wish you a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! May Christmas blessings of peace and joy be yours in this season of your story, and in the New Year, may He give perspective and prosperity as you get closer to how He’ll answer your adoption prayer. Wishing you the joy and love of Jesus this Christmas and in the coming year.

It’s a blessing to be walking this path to adoption with you. We are hopeful next year reveals the next step toward your heart’s greatest desires and we continue to pray for your peace of mind as you wait.

We 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.

Lifetime’s sincerest prayer is that Christmas would 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.

Even though our office is closed on Christmas, Lifetime is available 24 hours a day for birth mothers or women considering adoption, as well as for Lifetime families who have an urgent update regarding their adoption match. We can be reached at 1-800-923-6784 if you need an urgent update (such as if your birth mom goes into labor!)

Written by Mardie Caldwell, C.O.A.P.

Founder of Lifetime Adoption, adoptive mom, adoption expert, and Certified Open Adoption Practitioner (C.O.A.P).

Since 1986, adoption expert Mardie Caldwell has been dedicated to bringing couples and birth parents together in order to fulfill their dreams.

“Many years ago, I was also searching for a child to adopt. We didn’t know where or how to get started. Through research, determination, and a prayer, our dream of a family became reality. I started with a plan, a notebook, assistance from a caring adoption consultant and a lot of hard work; this was my family I was building. We had a few heartaches along the way, but the pain of not having children was worse!

Within weeks we had three different birth mothers choose us. We were overwhelmed and delighted. Many unsettling events would take place before our adoption would be finalized, many months later. Little did I know that God was training and aligning me for the adoption work I now do today. It is my goal to share with our families the methods and plans which succeed and do not succeed. I believe adoption should be affordable and can be a wonderful “pregnancy” for the adoptive couple.

I have also been on both sides of infertility with the loss of seven pregnancies and then conceiving by new technology, giving birth to a healthy daughter. I have experienced first-hand the emotional pain of infertility and believe my experience allows me to serve your needs better.

It is my hope that for you, the prospective parents, your desire for a child will be fulfilled soon.”
