Get the feedAdoption: The Palmer Family
Saturday, Nov 20th 2010
The Palmers are hoping to experience next Christmas as a three-piece!
Please tell us about yourself — your location, job, etc!
Hello! We're Kevin and Layla Palmer and we live in Prattville, Alabama. We got married in June of 2004 and we work as freelance writers/photographers for various home magazines and websites- including our own. We are both enthusiastically passionate about life, love, music and design, and we hope to adopt a child in need of a forever family sometime next year!
When/why did you decide to adopt?
Kevin and I have always thought we would adopt when we were ready to start a family. My dad was adopted, and I was very close with my Grandparents until they passed away. I have a feeling the relationship I had with my Grandma has something to do with my desire to adopt. She was one of the most amazing women on the planet and I hope to follow in her footsteps and create a family that's built to blossom, just like she did.
Do you have any biological children?
No.
Whom are you adopting, and from where?
We are choosing an agency right now. We've got it narrowed down to three, but hope to make our final selection by Christmas!
When are you hoping to have your child home?
We'd love to celebrate next Christmas as a three-piece. :-)
What is your biggest apprehension about the process?
Honestly, it's about flying overseas! I am terrified of airplanes, but when I think about one small, courageous child leaving the only home they've ever known to come home with Kevin and I, well, let's just say I'm inspired to fly.
What has been the most surprising aspect of the process?
We were surprised how many of our readers have adopted or have a family member that's adopted! We've have "met" so many amazing adoptive families through our website, and their stories encourage and motivate us on a daily basis. It's such a wonderful community and we are thrilled to know there are so many people we can talk to about the adoption process.
Have you and your spouse always been on the same page about wanting to adopt? (If not, what changed?) How did you tell your other children (if applicable) and families?
Yes. We are the best of friends and, fortunately, we're on the same page when it comes to almost everything. We're very excited about starting the next chapter of our lives together with a little one to love!
Is any organization or agency helping you to get through the process, financially, emotionally, or otherwise?
We don't have an organization or agency helping us financially, but the folks who read our blog have helped us emotionally for the past two and a half years. They're the best e-friends in the world and we can't begin to explain how much their advice, comments and friendship means to us. This next year will no doubt be challenging in many ways, but it's comforting knowing we've got a network of friends to bond with/lean on throughout the journey.
Comment Away:
Would you like to help this family?
Leave one comment below -- express love and appreciation for them or anything else you'd like to say -- and we will donate $2 towards the Palmer's adoption! Not only will you be helping orphans, you will also receive a weekly e-zine from SixSeeds.tv, offering the best in good, family, fun!
Comment away, send others to this page, and spread the word about this offer which extends throughout the entire month of November!

Our family has adopted twice through the Foster Care system in the United States twice. Lots of kids here to consider as well if you decide. Our youngest who is four was 11 months when she came to be with forever. Adoption shows the love of God in such a beautiful way! God bless as you embark on this amazing journey. Love your blog too!!
by Annette Taylor #
Great news!! I have followed your blog for a few years now and I know you and Kevin will be wonderful parents!! What a lucky child to be a part of your family.
My daughter adopted our grandson from Taiwan and we have so much love for this little boy. They are now in the fundraising phase of starting their next adoption journey.
Prayers will be coming your way!!

Congrats on your adoption decision! An an adoptee, I have a special place in my heart for folks who decide to adopt. I can't wait to read more about your journey.
by Jill M #
We have two kids via international adoption. Hands down the best decisions we EVER made!!
by Danielle #
I really hope your wish comes true. I know several families who are affected by adoption. My Mom's girlfriend was adopted, but you wouldn't know it, that is how strong the family bond is. My Mom's friend and her husband finally adopted a little boy a few years ago, from Russia. They had wanted a child for so long (since I was younger), but she had several bouts with cancer. Good luck to you on starting your family! :)

If one were to read the Palmer's blog, The Lettered Cottage, the first thing you are acutely aware of is the love that fills their home and how much passion they have for everything they do. They will make wonderful parents!

Rest in God as you go through the process. Be anxious for nothing, but in prayer and petition.
Let us know how we can help, for you have inspired so many of us. We would be blessed to do something for you.

I think that adoption is great. If my husband was on board then we would be doing it. God Bless you for this. I live in Montgomery and I have a friend that is in the pre and post adoption care field. She was just telling me yesterday about their amazing programs that they have for those who chose to adopt. I can get you in touch with her if you like. Also, AGAPE is a WONDERFUL agency here in town. Blessings on your journey.
by Rachel @ JoeyandChase #
I think Layla and Kevin would make AWESOME parents! If they put just an ounce into parenting of what they put into decorating, encouraging, and inspiring others, then their new little one will be so lucky! Good luck!

There is nothing better than having a family. Whether you're biological one, or adopted, there isn't a better thing in the whole world. And to have the desire to add a person to one's life through adoption is committing oneself to a lifetime of love. Good luck to you!

This couple--known to most of us strictly through online evidence--can offer a child humor, beauty, song, curiostiy, and a work ethic. On top of dollops of love, I'd say that's most of what counts in a parent.

How exciting to have an opportunity here on earth to participate in something that happens in Heaven every day!

Although I've birthed seven children including three at once and later one who only lived a short time, we were told early on in our marriage that we'd never be able to conceive and so....we went through the adoption process up until I got pregnant. So I understand the tremendous roller coaster of emotions in trying to bring little ones into your family. I'm sure Kevin and Layla will be the most loving, nurturing parents to the special little one who God will send their way. He's already chosen this little one and we joyfully await His perfect timing.
Peace,
Kathy

Good luck! I hope you will be able to do what you want to do. Many years ago my mother n father adopted my brother. They thought that it was a long time to have my oldest brother n wanted a little brother to play with him. When the adoption was almost final mom found out she got pregnant with me. Needless to say, most people don't know that the middle child was adopted till this day - over 40 years later. :)

We have 4 bio. and 1 adopted. There is NO DIFFERENCE in how we love our children...all the love we have comes from HIM! Only difference was how they came to us...our adopted daughter was definitely a "labor of the heart"...and most life changing for all of us! Want to walk closer to God and experience more of His love...then we follow His command to take care of the widows and orphans...and life will never be the same again! How exciting!!! God will surely bless you for following where He leads!

They certainly deserve a child, and there's a child out there somewhere in the world just waiting for their wonderful mommy and daddy to come and take them home to Prattville. xxx

What a great interview! My BFF was adopted and I have watched her story unfold from the sidelines all her life. She was adopted by my Aunt and Uncle. Her life could have been so different, had it not been for their love and stability. I have a very soft spot in my heart for adoption because of her. Sending my prayers as you venture into this lovely, scary, rewarding, challenging journey. You guys will be great parents and will change a life by this! Maybe even your own. :)

KISSES IN THE WIND (The Waiting Child's Lullabye)
I hold you in my heart and touch you in my dreams.
You are here each day with me, at least that's how it seems.
I know you wonder where we are... what's taking us so long.
But remember child, I love you so and God will keep you strong.
Now go outside and feel the breeze and let it touch your skin...
Because tonight, just as always, I blow you kisses in the wind.
May God hold you in His hand until I can be with you.
I promise you, my darling, I'm doing all that I can do.
Very soon, you'll have a family for real, not just pretend.
But for tonight, just as always, I blow you kisses in the wind.
May God wrap you in His arms and hold you very tight.
And let the angels bring the kisses that I send to you each night.

The little one that finds his home with Layla + Kevin will be blessed indeed! I believe that one of the most important things parents can give their children is a strong, vibrant + loving marriage; the Palmers are starting out miles ahead. This will form a beautiful foundation for starting a family. Blessings, and can't wait to follow the journey!!

You might not have to make that long plane ride! Check out Bridgesofhope.org ( I think) They are a ministry located in Millbrook. They run orphanages in Ukraine but they are bringing orphans HERE to try to find homes for them. The children are precious. Tom Benz is head of the organization. Give them a call. Who knows. :)

I think the best thing parents can give their children is a love for one another. Whomever gets to be raised by these two will certainly be blessed.
by Carol Ann #
I know Kevin and Layla Palmer only through their blog that I have read regularly for 2 years. You get a sense that they are amazing people through their blog, I feel strongly they will make the best parents, I personnally was adopted many years ago, they are the parents I would have wished for....I think any child would be extremely lucky to grow up in their home. I wish them all the luck in the world that by next year they are a threesome.

Adoption is such a generous act. Our first child is biological, but I am very hopeful that when we look to expand our family further, we consider adoption.

Best of luck! I look forward to following you through this journey via your blog!

I don't know Layla or Kevin personally, but what I can say is that they ooze love, passion and dedication for each other and their beloved readers. It's incredible the way they connect with each reader and just the fact that they can make their readers feel that loved, leads me to believe any child would feel just the same, only more.
I wish them happiness on their journey with God leading their way.

I don't know this couple personally, but feel as though I do through their blog, "the Lettered Cottage". the very first time you start reading about them you feel as though you know them. You can feel the love they have for one another, life and what they do. I think they would provide the perfect home for a child in need of a loving family that will provide every opportunity they can, so that a child will flourish in life. Good Luck to you both, as there is nothing better, than seeing life through the eyes of a child.
by Erin #
As a devoted follower of Layla and Kevin's blog, I have noticed, more than their incredible talent, their happiness and joy for life and their love and affection for each other. What better home for a child to grow up? Best wishes to you!

I gave a baby up for adoption years ago - she and her parents have since come to find me and we are all one big happy family. From my perspective, Kevin and Layla would be wonderful parents. God bless them and the child he chooses for them.
by kiki #
My cousin and her husband adopted two children in Russia and while the process was not easy, it was well worth it. There are so many children around the world in need of a good family and you will make great parents! And don't be nervous about the international travel. It will be a great adventure! One piece of advice would be to try to learn some of the child's native language to make the transition easier for him/her. Best of luck!

Dear Littlest Palmer,
Although you may not have been matched yet, God already knows who your mommy and daddy are and you will be as lucky to have them as they are to have you! Until mommy and daddy are able to come get you, Angels watch over you and keep you safe.

What an amazing couple these two make. If all of us can feel their love, for each other, through just a computer screen... then you can only IMAGINE how much "Tender,Loving,Care" an adopted child of their own would receive.
There's no doubt in my mind that there is a special, lucky baby waiting for these two... "naturally nurturing, eager-to-be parents"
Good luck you guys!

I've been following Kevin and Layla's blog for about a year now and I'm so excited that they have decided to become parents. We adopted two of our five children and then our oldest daughter adopted just two years ago. You can imagine what a blessing adoption has been in our lives. I wish for Kevin and Layla all the blessings a child will bring to make them a forever family.

I wish lots of blessings to Layla & Kevin. Being parents is the best thing in the world and I love that they're opening their home and hearts to an orphan.

God prepare the child that you have for Kevin and Layla. And I ask that You prepare the Palmers for the child You have selected for them. Adoption is a beautiful journey and represents the grace of our great God in adopting us to be His sons and daughters.
May you put it all in His hands. Your fears, your needs, your anxieties. He knows what you need. Do not worry.
My prayer is for your home to be soon filled with cries and laughter and love that a child brings.

My friends and I are all fans of your blog. We're always finding ourselves saying, "Layla would like this" or "Layla says..." just like you're one the girls. I'm sure you both will be AMAZING parents! I can't wait to see how you're going to decorate a child's room. It will provide lots of inspiration for me as hopefully I'll be decorating a baby's room of my own next year. Best wishes on expanding your family!

Me and my husband have been feeling a nudge from God to adopt locally here in Erie, PA. Today in church there was a case worker from a local agency who I was able to discuss my fears and hopes with. I came across your blog this evening and you too are talking about adoption. I am so encouraged to move forward in this process to give a child who hasn't experienced love a loving home and family. Thank you for sharing this at the perfect time.

Good luck, Layla & Kevin!

I have worked in several orphanages in Haiti and have had the pleasure of witnessing many adoptive parents meeting their children for the first time. It is such a special experience.
I used to go into the children's rooms at night and pray for each one of them. Asking God to bring them the right parents for their personalities and that they would be brought up in safe environments where they would be nurtured and loved. I would have been thrilled to see any of the children in that orphanage go home to a family like yours and hope there is someone praying over your little one each night as you are preparing to make them an addition to your family! God bless you both!

I'm really happy to see you willing to take such a great responsibility. I'm from Romania and we have in our family to foster children because adoption is very hard obtained here. They are really like our brother and sister but it remains a constant fight for them because of the years of uncertainty and loss they went trough. May God bless you in your choice! We have in Romania many abandoned gypsy children and many witch are used only for the little income they make. Blessings with the 121 Psalm.

My Mother recently went to live with Jesus and on one of her last good days she told me that she would have liked to provide a homeless child with a home. I was suprised to learn of her secret desire. Adoption was not an option for her but it is for you. Our hearts have lots of love to share.

Praying for you guys! I myself am an adopted child, and I think it's the most unselfish thing anyone can do. I can definitely see God's plan unfolding in the relationships that I otherwise wouldn't have had...my amazing parents, fantastic friends (i.e. extended family), and my best friend and the love of my life - my wonderful husband. I am so far beyond grateful for the way my life has turned out, especially knowing how different it could have been...I have no doubt you two will change your little one's life for the better!

I've been stalking Kevin and Layla's blog for a long time and was excited to see that they are planning to adopt. My husband and I just got back from China 2 months ago with our 20 month old daughter and I can empathize with Layla's fear of flying! I was scared about that part too, but it ended up being no big deal. I wish the Palmers the best of luck and can't wait to hear more about their adoption journey.

Although I don't know you personally, I am an avid reader of the blog. There were many designers that I used to read but now it's just yours. While some may get caught up in showing only the perfectly staged parts of their home and carefully worded sentences on their blog, you guys show your humor and real life. Like the keys under the mat/car window incident. Hilarious!
You are so personable and good to each other - it really comes out on your pages. There's no faking that. It's easy to see that you'll have an even more awesome little family when you adopt. I can't wait to see the journey! Good luck!

There is genuine love between you two, and people (obviously from your huge following) are just drawn to your happiness & joy. As a mother, I truly feel you will be amazing parents!

How exciting!! We adopted our little girl from China 4.5 years ago. It was THE best decision of our lives. She is a joy. I am TERRIFIED of flying too... like I won't get on a plane for any other reason than holding my daughter. I used a lot of visualization and I took enough Xanax to kill a small horse, but I got on that plane!! (Actually about 7 planes for the whole process). I KNEW this was what we were meant to do and -for some reason- it is one of the only times that planes didn't send me into a cold sweat. It will happen for you too. As far as financial issues- you'll find that there are plenty of resources out there and a large adoption community ready to help you raise the funds you need to bring home your little one!! I wish you all the best of luck! Can't wait to follow your journey!!

I just know the Lord has amazing plans for y'all - blessings, strength and courage through this time!!

We adopted our son (we already had three beautiful daughters aged 7, 5 and 2 at the time) from South Korea when he was just 5 months old. He is now 24 and has been a delight in our family. He loves being different to the rest of us cos he thinks it makes him more special!!!! He finished off our family perfectly and opened our lives to a larger world. We would be lost without him. And this mother is very proud to have such a beautiful son.
Layla and Kevin, if you receive even half the blessing I've known through our adoption, your joy will know no bounds. My prayer for you is to know abundant joy!!! God's blessings......

This news about Layla & Kevin adopting just warms my heart!! They are beautiful people inside & out and a child would be blessed to have them as parents. We sponsored a little baby girl orphan in Thailand this year and just got news that she was adopted by a family in the USA. Praise God!! Now we have a 12 yr old boy we are sponsoring in Uganda. We pray he will be adopted soon as well.
Layla * Kevin - When you adopt your blessing let me know and a custom initial/monogram nursery rug is our gift to you!

To know Kevin and Layla is to love them! They are aware of what to value in life and have chosen to--scary though it's been at times--pursue a life authentic to those beliefs. What are those beliefs you ask? The belief in a life of passion, courage, faith, self-reliance, perseverance to name the big ones. What more could a child want?
Good luck Kevin and Layla!

I know you will have the most wonderful experience. My daughter was one of those rare people who just had had a nightmare road. Her husband and her have had 3 failed adoption, in which the mothers changed their minds at the last possible moment. I don't share this to make you afraid...but just to share this rare oddity in my daughter's life. She experienced this after she lost 4 embryos after IVF. It's been such a long hard road for her and her husband. I know one day, they will be parents, and we will rejoice!!

These two would be AMAZING parents! I have followed their blog for a while. I wondered why two people so evidently in love didn't have a child already. Hearing that their plan is to adopt just totally makes sense for the people I have come to know through their blog. I wish them the best of luck.

I have yet to post about our adoption journey but we are going to adopt a child from China.

My father-in-law was adopted and decided to give back during his lifetime by fostering over 80 children in their first weeks (sometimes months and years) between birth and their adoption. I can't imagine a more loving and inspiring home for a child to grow in than Layla and Kevin Palmer's. Best of luck to you all in this amazing journey.

You both share your lives so freely with the world, how wonderful to open your family as well. This is never a step taken lightly. It requires patience, kindness and above all empathy. Being an adult is hard work and being a parent even more so. Good luck, those of us that look forward to reading your blog understand how dedicated and compassionate you both are. All I can say is love with all of your hearts, teach responsibility and kindness. Never let them guess how much you love them. Most of all no matter how hard it gets never give up and they will never give up on you. Security, routine, and lots of love. Congrats!
by Shelly #
Good luck Kevin and Layla!

Kevin and Layla are an inspiration to so many people. Even those who have never met them in person. You can just feel the love they have to share by simply looking at them, talking to them, or just reading what they have to say. A child/children will be blessed to call them Mom and Dad.

I was in the foster care "system" as a teenager, and thoughtful, strong, intelligent, intuitive adults saved my life from a horrible cycle of mental illness. The role that one adult can play in a child's life cannot be measured in words; it is something that, as an adult, I recognized and was eternally grateful for. The person who "saved" me was my therapist. She was an intern when she was assigned my case, but 10 years of on and off counseling, placement, housing assistance, and generally good advice later, I am healthy. I still have some emotional trauma to work through, but people like my counselor prove that it only takes one very patient, very dedicated person to make a REAL difference.
Thank you, Palmer family, for being kind enough to reach out and pluck a child from a potentially very tumultuous existence. Your impact will not be measured in words, but in tears of joy, belly laughter, and the sweetest smiles you have ever known.

A good friend told me that she was terrified of flying to China, but the only thing that got her on the plane was the thought of her little girl waiting for her. Since then, my friend has flown all over the globe. I hope that happens for you, Layla. All the best to you! Blessings!

We adopted our son on the day he was born almost three years ago. It was the best, most life-changing decision we ever made. Good luck to you and your soon-to-grow family!

Kevin and Layla,
God works in mysterious ways. Over 11 years ago my husband and I embarqed on the same journey as you. We had 3 biological children but God had placed in my heart that we should adopt.. I prayed that if it was God's will he would need to convince my husband, Dave. Within the same week (i kid you not), Dave asked me what I think about us adopting!! WOW!! We adopted our youngest daughter , Payton , from Cambodia. I can't believe she will be 13 in May. We have been blessed by each of our children and Payton made our family complete. God bless you as you go on your journey. And listen... God speaks!!

Amazing couple. I can only respect people who make that kind of commitment.
A friend of mine grew up in Lebanon, and will not even consider having kids of her own due to the war that was waging when she grew up. Her take on it that there are so many children in the world already who needs parents, so why bring another one in to this world?
I wish you all the best.

Layla and Kevin - bless you for adopting! We adopted our daughter when she was seven years old and now she's 31 and one of the most compassionate, sweet women I know. You'll never be sorry - it's an amazing journey - not always easy - but always rewarding.
