About Me
- heidi r weimer
- Nashville, Tennessee
- I am a 30-something nose-ringed mom to eleven-going-on-something stellar kids (4 via my belly and 7 via adoption), wife to one heroic husband, children's book author, lover of justice, adoption promoter, and sold-out follower of Jesus. My mantra: "My life is not my own." And one day that will be my tattoo. Maybe.

Wow that video just brings tears to my eyes. I so pray that God leads us to adopt again. THe money part is very hard right now. My husband is a youth pastor and I stay home with our 4 kids. Our oldest son is in Heaven after leukemia. Noah would be 13 now. THrough Noah's time in the hospital God made a way to adopt Samuel from CHina and then Esther from Guatmemala. Now I am praying that if God has one or more kids in Ethiopia that He will make it known to us and provide all that we need to bring them home. God can do anything!!! Thank you for posting this video. I sent it on to some of my friends who are thinking of adopting!
God Bless, Heidi
thank you for posting this. we are on the waiting list for two siblings from ethiopia, but in the past week selfishness has been making me really afraid of how this is going to change our lives. your video really put it into perspective- i needed a slap in the face to snap me out of it and make me realize that my (temporary) discomfort is worth giving others a chance to live.
