BIRTH PARENT"I was 19, scared, and had nowhere to turn. This community connected me with a counselor who understood my situation, a support group of other birth mothers, and ultimately the perfect family for my daughter. Three years later, we still exchange letters and photos. I know I made the right choice because I had the right support."
ADOPTIVE FAMILY"After 3 years of waiting, we found our son through this community. The fundraising tools helped us raise $18,000 for adoption expenses, and the support group kept us going through the tough moments."
