Becki

Todd's cousin (almost closer than cousin because their moms are twins!), Becki, has an amazing story of fighting colon cancer. She is one of my heroes--one of the best people I know. They are now looking for a baby and so I added their button to my blog. Click on the button and check out their adoption page. Also, here is a post written by Becki's sister, Kim. Help them out by spreading the word.

Thanks!

My sister needs a baby.

Years ago Beck and Jer and a tiny baby Ethan bravely fought and beat Becki's colon cancer. She is happy and healthy and cancer free today. The age of chemo has past and it's time for bigger and better things. Namely, growing a family.

I don't know if I can express how deeply I desire for Becki and Jeremy and Ethan to have a baby join their home. My heart aches when Ethan sets out stuffed animals to be his 'brothers and sisters'. I have boxes of my very favorite (just can't part with them) baby outfits saved for the day when we get a new little family member--via the Kendricks. I think if every prospective parent truly knew the desires of their hearts, and if they knew Becki and Jeremy, they would be clamoring in line to get to them. I could go on and on. I love the way Becki gets totally righteously indignant if Rustin (my husband) tries to play her left-handed in racquetball. Or they way Ethan makes little "magic books" (and a million maps to nowhere) for his cousins. And Jeremy--from guitar playing to Ethan-directed-video making to computer fixing, it's pretty hard to get past his charming dimples. So, if you feel inspired, join our family. Help us spread the word. Click on the button on the toolbar to get your own awesome button.

***And just for fun---Jeremy's brother is married to the oh-so-lovely cjane, who really feels like family along with all the Kendricks. We all know how much we would love our children to have cjane for an aunt! Don't miss her great post about this button. And definitely watch the video about crackers. Hilarious.***

Cassie you are the best. We can't wait until you get a little closer to home! And your pictures of your kids are gorgeous!

Since we're in the adoption process, I can sincerely and humbly relate to this longing. However, because we're working on getting a specific child and it's an international adoption, we are in a mildly different situation. Since we began the process of adopting Charlie, we have had MULTIPLE people come to us with adoption tips, agencies, and recommendations. I know of an agency here in Utah that can get a family a baby within two to four weeks if they're interested in the information. A lot of people choose to go through LDS family services because it's less expensive. But you can be waiting on their lists for years. So let me know if you're interested and I can get you a contact!

Love you!
