A message from Patty (Adoptive Mom)
Hi IPAS family! I just wanted to post a little note of thanks to you. I just got done rocking my sweet baby girl Juliana to sleep. As I did, tears of love, joy, contentment, and most of all appreciation fell down my cheeks. Without you we would not have her or her equally precious big brother Jackson! Thank you so much and I am so glad God has blessed you enough to expand your services to a larger part of California! That will give so many more adoptive families the chance to grow, birth families the opportunity to be nurtured during a very difficult time, and everyone the chance to know such wonderful people! You will always be part of our family and know you are all Jackson and Juliana’s “aunt’s in Fresno”! Love you!
A Poem written by Ernie (Adoptive Dad)
The Greatest One
When I look into your eyes, when I hold you as you sleep
I can’t believe you’re here, and will soon be mine to keep
As I dream of things to come, and I give you all I can
I just pray I’ll teach you love, and how to be a good man
Cause God gave you to me, to fill this void inside my heart
And God gave us to you, to help you find a brand new start
And of all the things I’ve seen, and all things I’ve done
I know without a doubt, you are the greatest one
So let me rock you in my arms, let me hear your gentle sighs
And don’t think that I am sad, with these teardrops in my eyes
I cry because I know, that I have finally found my way
And my dreams are coming true, your adoption finalized today
Cause God gave you to me, to fill this void inside my heart
And God gave us to you, to help you find a brand new start
And of all the things I’ve seen, and all things I’ve done
I know without a doubt, you are the greatest one
