You came in an envelope with letters and forms and such,
Just a tiny picture with nothing warm to touch.
You grew in my imagination, in my heart and in my mind,
You’ve brought me more joy than I thought I’d ever find.
A phone call started labor pains which lasted ‘til we met.
Strangers, brought together on a day I won’t forget.
In my heart, my life, my home,
My child, of chance of will, You’re now my very own

Hello, and thank you for stopping by Adoption Links. I wanted to tell you a bit about myself, and what drove me to create this website. My name is Ellen DuBois. I'm a writer, a piano teacher to kids, Host of MiscarriageHelp.com & singer/songwriter. I have been with the same man for almost 16 years, have an awesome, much loved dog, and also create websites (PlusSizes4Her.com, Women's Clothing Closet, MiscarriageHelp.com, Hope Angel Bracelets- hand crafted, swarovski crystal Hope Angel Bracelets made by my mother and I) to name a few.

I created this site because I want to share with you. I want you to share with me. I want those of us who want to adopt a child to connect and feel like someone can relate to us- not alone. So, please, leave any comments in the new comment box I've placed at the bottom of this page. I'd like us to feel connected no matter where our feet are on the path to adoption. You may have had your dream come true and adopted already. Please, share! It gives those of us who haven't yet adopted something so precious...HOPE. Perhaps, you're like me and are reading, planning, trying to sort it all out. You know one thing for certain: Adopting a child is not just another 'something' in your life. It's a part of you that needs to be filled. You ache for a child, and know that somewhere there's a child meant just for you. If you're anything like me, you dream of the day when you'll be called "Mommy"- and it's the biggest dream of your life.

I think you'll gather from my writing a bit about who I am and how longing to adopt is a real piece of my heart. If it's a part of you, perhaps that's how you ended up here.

I wish you the very best, all of God's blessings, and the continued strength, hope and belief that your dreams of adoption will come true.

May God bless you and bring you and your special one(s) together.

Love and Light,
Ellen
