Alicia Is Hoping to Adopt!

Alicia

Dear Birth Mom, Thank you for considering me to care for your most prized possession. I am beyond honored that you selected me and words cannot express my gratitude that you selected me. If thank you was a picture in the dictionary, you would see me grinning at you .I plan to name our baby David (DC)/ Hannah Marie (Hanny)

About Me

I live in Columbus, OH. I am from the Virgins Islands- St. Thomas. I work at the Post Office as a Dock Expeditor. I like interacting with the truck drivers. I am perceived as being quiet. I am indeed quiet but meet people easily.I love to travel to various states but most recently did my first solo trip to Curasco in the Caribbean. Dream destination Hawaii. If I’m not spending time with my siblings and their family I am watching tv, going out to eat, or listening to music. I want to adopt because unlike a woman who has conceived the “traditional way” I believe that God has placed the desire to adopt in my heart. There have been times when I wanted to abort the desire but the desire would not go away. It felt like something was knocking on the inside of me…saying- remember me??? The aches and longing to adopt would overtake me, like a woman feeling her child moving on the inside of her. Every decision over the past 20 years has been with our baby in mind. When I was impregnated with the desire to adopt Steven Covey’s words “begin with the end in mind” became my WHY. I have held those words close to my heart and no matter what struggles or set backs over the years my WHY has grounded me and motivated me to keep working for David/Hanney. I don’t believe that this decision is easy for you, that is the reason why I have prayed for you over the years. I will continue to pray for your comfort and strength during this transition. Caring for your baby is my desire but letting him/her know that they are a gift from you to me is an honor and my gift to you. Thank you again for selecting me to raise our baby. When you get a chance please listen to “when I pray for you” by Dan & Shay. My favorite childhood book- The Little Red Hen….inspires me to believe in myself when no one else does. Push past the NOOOOO for what I want. Mantra- NEVER, NEVER GIVE UP!!! I attend church. I like going out to eat. I wouldn’t say that I like trying new foods because I can be a picky eater. (Fun fact people say I dance when I eat:) )My younger brother is the same way too. I love all holidays, especially Christmas. I am a gift giver & love gifts myself. I put up my Christmas decorations on Thanksgiving day and take everything down on New Years day. I prefer to spend Christmas day alone if possible because I can enjoy basketball by myself. I celebrate Christmas with my Ohio family on New Year's eve. I tend to cook a lot and everyone opens their presents and we enjoy each other’s company.

Family I have 3 sisters and 3 brothers. I have 4 siblings who live in Georgia, 1 live Upstate New York, and 1 lives in Columbus, OH. I am a second mother to my nieces and nephews who live in Columbus, OH. Part of the reason I think it took me so long to follow through with having a family of my own is because of my heavy involvement in my nieces and nephews life. Last year I made a firm stand to only be Auntie so that I could focus on having a family of my own. Other than myself, my younger brother does not have any kids. I have 25 nieces & nephews ranging from age 27- 15 months and 1 great Nephew ( I leave the great off). I make it a point to visit New York or Georgia once a year.

Friend Alicia is a trusted friend that I consider to be a member of my family. I’ve personally known Alicia for over 20 years. At one point we were co-workers and church members of the same congregation; Now I consider Alicia my sister. Alicia is a caring individual that always puts God first. Her primary relationship is with the Lord; Jesus Christ is the foundation on which she stands. When decisions need to be made in her life, prayer will always be involved. Alicia understands that time must be spent in the presence of our Creator;I admire this quality in Alicia.Family and friends come in a close second for Alicia, but she never makes you feel that way. With that being said, Alicia is able to get along with anyone, she is not a people pleaser but is always respectful and good-natured towards others. Alicia while reserved, is also nurturing, funny, adventurous and witty. From a very early age, I witnessed Alicia working very hard to accomplish her life goals. Alicia is not afraid of hard work and enjoys a challenge. In the recent years, Alicia has seen many of her dreams come to fruition. The next step in her life’s journey is to become a mother, which I know she will be an exemplary role model. The faithAlicia has in Jesus has will be passed on to her children and those closest to her. Alicia’s undivided attention will be showered on her baby as well it should be.
