 Carolyn S.THE ADOPTION JOURNEY When I was asked to serve as on the board of Adoption Bridges of Kentucky, Inc. I was honored to do so. I am the proud parent of five wonderful children, three of whom entered my life through the miracle of adoption. I could not have imagined, prior to the birth of my son eleven years ago, the profound love that I would feel for him and his two younger sisters, who also entered our family through adoption. I read an article just yesterday that contained a phrase that very precisely describes the whole adoption experience—“love beyond reason”. I have told those professionals involved in the adoption experience that they are the doing the work of God when they help to create families through adoption. I think that the part of it that never ceases to amaze me is the unwavering belief of adoptive parents that they have been given the child that they were meant to parent from the beginning of time. Whether the child has come to them from the other side of the world or the other side of this city, most adoptive parents cannot bear to think of having another child in their homes and in their hearts. This agency and its caring and devoted staff will accomplish miracles. Over the coming years they will bring untold joy to hundreds of parents and children, and comfort and care to the birthmothers who, through their love, have brought the children into the world. I am proud to be one of the members of the first board of directors and I am happy to be a part of these miracles. Previous page: Birth Parent's and Adoptive Parent's Testimonials |
