Our Famlies

Ohio Regional Office's Summer Gathering

June 30, 2007

Below is an excerpt from one of our families sharing how their adoption journey has affected them. They graciously allowed us to share it with you.

“We are now … sharing the journey of adoption. A journey few people know will be waiting for them. A journey filled with selfless acts and connections made by people of different backgrounds, cultures, religion, and races. The story of adoption shows the goodness of the human spirit. It shows our ability to love without the requirement of biological linkage. It shows the selflessness of a birth family that is able to put the best interest of a special child above all things. It shows the resilience of little hearts that are able to embrace the love of a forever family.

"We have learned so much about ourselves, our abilities, our commitment to each other, our beliefs and values through this journey.”
