Adoption healed the hurt of being a childless couple.  We have three wonderful children, and our lives are forever complete because of their adoption.  Not a day goes by that we don’t feel gratitude to Adoption Bridges and to the beautiful birth mothers that made it possible for us to become a family.

The most special part of our adoptions is that they are open adoptions.  We feel that this allows all involved to fully participate in the life long process of having a successful adoption.  Being able to share photos and letters with birth mothers has been a positive experience for them and for us.  People have asked us if open adoption is scary.  We tell them that it is comforting because there are no secrets.   

If I could share one thought with a perspective adoptive parent, I would tell them that the gift of adoption is the best gift that they will ever receive.  If I could express one feeling to a perspective birth parent, it would be of gratitude for sharing the best gift you could ever give to someone.
