Heartfelt Couples
have first choice of all available birth mothers. Your
birthmother letter will be presented to the birthmothers of your choice and
you then select from the birthmothers that choose you first. A
full disclosure of information will assist you in finding the right baby for
your family. THIS IS A PARTIAL
LIST AND DOES NOT INCLUDE ALL OF THE BIRTHMOTHERS FOR ADOPTION OR
THE BABIES THAT HAVE BEEN BORN. I am always looking for loving, stable couples who are
ready to be parents. I do not accept couples who want a gender
preference (just a boy or only a girl). Heartfelt Adoption is proud to announce that
I am in total compliance
with every rule and State Regulation set forth in the legal guidelines for
California Adoption Facilitators. To access this registry go to:
www.childsworld.ca.gov/PG1701.htm.
Heartfelt Adoption is honest, ethical and operates with
integrity.

(AVAILABLE) All Hispanic baby due in November
15th. Birth mother has given up three other children for adoption with
two of them being through Heartfelt. Birth mother is pretty with a
light complexion and her babies have been born drug free. Attorney has
ultrasound and AD67 form completed along with photos of this birth
mother. She is receiving good prenatal care. Since we know this
birth mother and believe she will give this baby up for adoption we will
pursue an immediate match. (Updated 7/16/10)

(BORN) Hispanic/Spanish baby due June 5,
2010. This baby will be 3/4 Hispanic and 1/4 Spanish. Let me
explain that. Some Hispanic birth parents have ancestry that is from
Spain. When from Spain they have extremely light skin. The birth
father has a parent directly from Spain. He himself has fair skin,
blond hair, with green eyes. This birth mother may be bi-polar.
However she was diagnosed bi-polar when she was doing drugs and did not tell
the doctor that was using. She has a prior
history of heroin use and has made a serious attempt to stay drug free
through out this pregnancy. On March 9th she voluntarily entered a
methadone clinic and attends classes regularly. She is drug tested
weekly. The attorney tells me this 4' 11" birthmother
weighing 115 lbs has an up coming ultrasound schedule for next week.
Two of her children have been taken by CPS at birth and she wants this
child to go to a loving couple. (Updated 4/9/10) The
ultrasound revealed a baby girl. (Updated 4/29/10) Birth mother picked
a Kansas couple with no children. They talk by telephone and it looks
like a very good match. We are days away from the birth. (Updated
5/28/10) Healthy baby girl with minor amount of drugs in her
system was cared for by her birth mother until the Kansas couple
arrived. Baby and adoptive parents had a hospital room of their own
until sweet little Isabella, and her new proud parents happily boarded a
plane yesterday destined for home. Isabella weighed 6 lbs 8 ozs
and was 19 inches long. She has black hair and a dimple on each
cheek. She eats good but hates to have her diapers changed! Oh
well.....that's life.....even perfect babies have a few temper
tantrums! ANOTHER HEARTFELT SUCCESS! I LOVE IT....I LOVE
IT.....I LOVE IT!!!! (Updated 6/8/10)

(MATCHED) All Hispanic seven
year old child has medically controlled ADHD and was adopted from foster
care. He is currently residing in TX with a loving adoptive family. It is
requested that you have no children younger than seven but it is okay if you
have older children. He loves to play soccer and excels in this
sport. He is on the smallest dose of medicine for ADHD. He loves to go
to church and does well in school with the exception of being a little
behind in some of the subjects. Open your heart and anyone wanting to
adopt this child will be blessed. He is handsome in his recent photo with his
soccer ball under his arm and down on one knee with a big smile on his
face. (Updated 4/17/10) It was a very smooth, happy transition
for this seven year old. He now resides with a pastor and his wife who
loaded up his cat, toys and his bike while Julio and their grandchild played
on the front lawn. Several members of their family came to support
Julio emotionally and make the transition easy. The entire family
wanted Julio to feel loved and wanted. I have kept in touch with the new family and it can be said in
very few words....THEY ADORE HIM!! They took him to church last Sunday
and as the pastor (his new Daddy) was standing in the pulpit, Julio gave
signs to him asking if they could go trail riding when church was over...of
course the answer was yes. He received lots of attention from the
church members and they reported that he has yet to have any down
moments. He has lots to do and they apparently working
diligently making the
transition an easy one. JUST A LITTLE BIT OF LOVE GOES
SUCH A LONG WAY! (Updated 5/28/10) May God get all the
praise and glory. This child is happy and in the best home
possible. His life will be different, his outlook will be altered and
he will learn to trust and have faith in God. In these troubled times,
we all need a strong shoulder to lean on. God showed me just recently
that all of these pressures and troubles that are apparently prevailing in
this day and age are to make us strong and get us ready for a heavenly
course. Imagine a lump of coal that is black, dark and ugly and
seemingly worthless.....when pressure is applied it turns into a beautiful
diamond. Don't loose hope and continue on through the valley of
troubled times. You will get to the other side if you do not
weaken. Don't blame God. He sees differently than we do.
He will never harm us or hurt us and wants only the best for us.
Continue in prayer and lay all your troubles at the cross. Pray, pray,
pray and ask, ask, ask. He says we have not because we ask not.
(I have simplified some of the wording) Matthew 7: 7 -
11 Ask and it shall be given unto you; seek and you shall
find; knock and it shall be opened unto you: For everyone that asks
will receive; and he that seeks will find; and to him that knocks it shall
be opened. Or what man is there of you whom if his son asks bread, will
he give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a
serpent? If you then being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your
children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good
things to them that ask him? (Pray for yourself, your family and
others...please include Heartfelt Adoption). (Updated 6/23/10)

(MATCHED) All Caucasian baby due October 26,
2010. Birth mother is 19 years old and is getting good prenatal
care. Sonogram is too early to tell if a boy or a girl. Smokes
Marijuana occasionally but not on a regular basis. Does not consume
any other drugs. Birth father is unknown. She is one of ten
children and says she can not raise this baby. One of her older
brothers and one of her sisters is very supportive of her adoption
choice. She is very pretty has brown hair, brown eyes and a very
pleasant personality. I have personally taken her to her
doctor's appointments. She is continuing with good
prenatal care. (Updated 4/5/10) Three-D sonogram reveals a
girl. This is a great birth mother and I like her a lot. She is
very happy with her California couple. They have a boy who will be 6
years old this coming June. All is going very well. (Updated
5/27/10) Birth mother and I had lunch together today and followed
up with a quick in and out visit to McDonalds for a sundae. She
is attending her doctor's appointments regularly and baby is doing well. (Updated 6/11/10)

(BORN) Repeat, 3/4 Caucasian/ 1/4
Hispanic baby due March 10, 2010. This birth mother has been with
Heartfelt adoption for two prior adoptions. I feel very certain that
she will give up this baby. The prior adoptive couple who are
parenting her last child have completed their family and are not interested
in this pregnancy. Therefore, two doctors, a husband and wife team,
residing in Florida are in the process of being matched. It looks like a
good match. Have you considered joining Heartfelt?
(Updated 12/14/09) All is going well with this adoption
plan. (Updated 2/13/10) Pretty baby Rebecca was born
March 9th weighing 6 lbs 14 ozs and 19-1/2 inches long. During the
first few days she was already drinking 4 oz of milk. Her adoptive
Daddy flew in two days after her birth. Her soft black hair and
beautiful skin rested warmly on Daddy's chest during the first night of his
arrival. Rebecca has been placed in an excellent loving
home.

(BORN - 12/2/09) All Caucasian
baby girl due December 15, 2009. Let me tell you a story. On
October 28, 1992 a beautiful 18 year old from a very poor dysfunctional
family met with me and said she wanted to give her baby up for
adoption. She kept her word and selected an outstanding couple
who later adopted from me again. Through the years, I have kept in
touch with this loving family. I have occasionally received pictures
of these two girls. Just t a few months after giving her baby up for
adoption this birthmother called me and said "please, please come and
get me, I should not be here, I want to go home." Within the hour
and before I could get her, the police picked up all who were involved and
charged each teenager with kidnapping. Here in CA that is a very
serious charge. After a long eighteen years of being
incarcerated I have witnessed her survival of 7 consecutive years in total
lock down and rejoiced when I heard her admit to me. "I have made
some very wrong decisions in my lifetime." She has even
asked for a bible. I purchased her bible at Capital Christian Center
just last week and she should have it soon. I hear a long awaited
change in her for the better. Now her child that she gave up for
adoption 16 years ago is having a baby. The family tells me that
both the birthmother, birthfather and their families are in agreement for
adoption. Since she is only 16 and he is 19 years old, all parties are
leaning toward adoption. We shall see. This situation is very
new and recent. Something in my heart tells me that this child will be
kept within the family. I could be wrong. Heaven knows I have
been wrong before. We will be sure before any match takes place.
(Updated 7/3/09). Birth mother is getting regular prenatal
care. She is in an excellent family with a tremendous amount of love
and attention. I know whatever decision they make will be the best for
the baby. (Updated 10/22/09) Birth
father has joined the service. Birth mother is still considering
adoption. A family round table discussion is about to take
place. At this moment in time it appears that adoption is a strong
consideration. (Updated 11/3/09) I spoke with the Grandmother
of this baby. They are having a pretty rough time. The birth
father is arriving home for the weekend and again all family members are
discussing adoption, keeping the baby, child support, etc, etc. I am
told that the final decision will be made this weekend with regard to this
child. The families are still split. This beautiful baby girl was born
on December 2nd, no drugs, healthy and over six pounds. The young 16
year old Mother is understanding the amount of sacrifice that must be put
forth to care for this baby. Grandmother tells me that the Mother is
about 75% leaning toward keeping the baby. Whatever happens and
whatever decision, I have worked extensively with this family in the
past (both of their girls were once Heartfelt babies). They are
loving, intelligent, financially secure and I think a great deal of
them. God holds this baby in the palm of his hand. (Updated
12/9/09). My guess is that the family is keeping this
baby much to my satisfaction. All along I have felt in my heart that
this baby has been divinely given to the right family. They are a
wonderful family and I can not praise them enough. Since I have not
been able to make contact with them, I can only assume that all is
well. I am closing this file after a long arduous decision and
turmoil. I have a strong feeling that the birth father agreed to pay
child support. He, from the beginning, seemed to have a heart, be
responsible, and be a great young man. As far as Heartfelt is
concerned, this story ended well. This baby is blessed. (Updated

(AN ADOPTIVE MOTHER'S LOVE
)
.....THE GIFT OF LIFE IS NOT MINE TO GIVE..........
BUT IN MY HEART I KNOW YOUR MINE...............THE LOVE I FEEL IS VERY
REAL............LIFE IS WONDERFUL AND KIND.........WE ARE MEANT FOR ONE
ANOTHER ...........YOU'RE MY HEARTFELT DREAM COME TRUE........I CAN
HARDLY WAIT TO HOLD YOU....GOD'S SPECIAL GIFT TO ME IS YOU!) One
of these days we will give an account of the deeds that we have done.
Remember that you will not be able to take one dollar with you when you
die. There will be no U-haul trucks carrying your possessions behind
your Hurst. What really matters is what you have done with your life
while you were down here on earth. How have your lived your
life? Make every moment count. Don't pass up opportunities
to say kind words, encourage, or simply ignore hurtful situations.
Turning the other cheek is hard but so rewarding and satisfying once you are
through that trial. There will be many trials....take them one at a
time and walk in love as financial hardships mount, tempers and loose
tongues can and will due damage. Don't be part of that. Love
when it is difficult......Make deposits into your heavenly bank account
while you still can. Make a choice to do what is right and be happy.
When you reach the other side you'll be glad you did.
LOVE IS PATIENT, LOVE IS KIND. IT DOES NOT ENVY, IT DOES NOT BOAST, IT
IS NOT PROUD, IT IS NOT RUDE, IT IS NOT SELF-SEEKING, IT IS NOT EASILY
ANGERED, IT KEEPS NO RECORDS OF WRONGS. LOVE DOES NOT
DELIGHT IN EVIL BUT REJOICES WITH THE TRUTH. IT ALWAYS PROTECTS,
ALWAYS TRUSTS, ALWAYS HOPES, ALWAYS PERSEVERES. LOVE NEVER
FAILS. I Corinthians 13: 4-8

HELPFUL INFORMATION: The open/independent adoption program allows the birthmother to choose her couple and
then the couple chooses back. Open does not mean that the birth mother
may be entitled to visitation rights, it simply means full disclosure of
information obtained. It is the best method for adoption here
in CA. Almost all of my birthmothers will come from CA.
If you follow my web site, I am sure you realize that
they come in, get matched, have their baby and go on their way. Just
like a revolving door, birthmothers and adoptive couples are constantly
coming and going. My 20 year mark is rapidly approaching. Consider joining Heartfelt!
I always need good couples who will love these babies. Call
(916 362-2300) or e-mail me (heartfelt@heartfeltadoption.com)
if you have any questions. (Updated 6/23/10)

REMEMBER THAT EVERY PROBLEM WE HAVE
HAS AN EXPIRATION DATE! Our Heavenly Father tells us that "weeping
may endure for a moment but joy comes in the morning." Psalm
30:5 He also wants us to go "through" the valley and not
"camp" there. Keep going until you reach the other side and
don't forget to seek Him daily. He has all of the answers. Remember the troubles and
woes of this world are temporary and we all have to go through our
share. I have found that a day by day or even moment by moment
DECISION to be happy is up to us. We can choose how we are to
react to every situation. God Loves You and so do I. Choose
friends who are up lifting. Find a good church and go.
