I pick up the phone and called A Act of Love Adoption agency out f Sandy Utah. The receptionist answered and I began to tell her my story, all about the fertility treatments, how we didn't care if it was a boy or girl or what the race of the child was, and how we had got there adoption information in the mail years ago, but for some reason I felt I needed to contact them again. I then mentioned we had our papers in through LDS Family Services, at that point she stopped me. She went through the checklist of everything we had already had done with LDS Family Services and she asked me if I could please hold for a minute, she needed to talk to the lady that ran A Act of Love Agency. A few short moments later the main woman in charge, Kathy Kokock, got on the phone. The first thing she said to me was, "Sheri, how serious are you and your husband about adopting?". I then told her the whole story which I had just told the receptionist and she then presented me with something that made my whole world stop for a moment, and my heart raced a hundred miles an hour. "Sheri, we have an African American birth mother here that has been here since she was 3 months along. We have showed her profile after profile and she has not picked a family for her baby boy. Would you be able to fax your profile to us ASAP?"

  1. I still remember you calling me and telling me that you and Kendall were adopting...I was so happy for you!! I remember I was sitting on our old blue couch, bawling....a very potent memory. Sorry, I'm getting ahead of the story:) Keep it coming, please.
