Adoption is an act of love. It is a loving choice that a mother makes in the best interest of her child. Through adoption, she is able to give her baby a safe and loving home, and opportunities in life that she cannot give at the time.
Choosing to adopt a baby is also a decision made with love. It comes from a strong desire to become parents and love a child unconditionally. Whether you are an expectant mother, a birth mother, or an adoptive family, you know the important role that love plays in your adoption story.
