"Every joy my son has brought into my life is because of her [his birth mother]. All the love he added to our family is because of her. I’ll never be able to adequately put into words how much her decision has had a positive impact on my life." -Kimberly, Adoptive Mom ❤️

“It took me a long time to see the light throughout all of this. We are incredibly lucky to have had a family choose us, and love us as their own. If you embark on a journey to find answers, or family members always remember that you are loved and accepted by so many people, embrace the ones who want to be a part of your life.” -Vanessa, Adoptee ❤️
