In 1975, I placed a little baby girl up for adoption. For twenty-one years I did not know where she was, but I longed to seek for her with the hope of finding her some day.
As she approached her 18th birthday, I began to place letters in a file at the adoption agency in hopes that she would ask for the file, read my letters, and desire a relationship with me when she became of legal age. The purposes of my letters were to let her know that I loved her and that I was open to a relationship. I could only pray that curiosity would draw her to the file and that it would lead to a wonderful friendship. So I waited. When she reached the age of 21, I could no longer take the pain of not knowing her, and so I called the agency and asked if they could find my daughter and let her know about the file. To my joy they found her, and she decided to reach for the file. After reading my letters, she was open to a relationship. Even though we were both unsure of where this new relationship would take us, we began the process of getting to know each other through writing letters. Several months later we were ready to meet face to face for the first time. What a wonderful moment in our lives! Eleven years later we are enjoying the benefits of that reunion.
JoyShop Ministries exists as God’s agency. We want to notify you about the File that your heavenly Father has for you. In it are 66 letters that He has written so that you might know how much He loves you and desires a personal relationship. He can no longer stand the pain of His children ignoring His file and has asked us to serve as His agent. Even though you might feel unsure about where this relationship will lead, you can know that joy awaits you in the days ahead as you pursue this friendship.
Beloved offspring of God, He has created you for the purpose of SEEKING HIM. He is as close as your Bible. If you would like help and encouragement in seeking and finding your heavenly birth father, you are invited to attend my workshop, “Seeking Him” or you can click here to Connect to Christ.
